Brecht-Tage 2026: A Plan to Save the Future from Collaps: Half Earth Socialism

Das sagt der/die Veranstalter:in:
Troy Vettese im Gespräch mit Dirk Baecker und Maike Weißpflug
Moderation Alexander Karschnia

An important legacy of naturalist E.O. Wilson is his book “Half-Earth.” In it, he calls on us to leave half of the globe to nature. Troy Vettese & Drew Pendergrass take up this call with HALF EARTH SOCIALISM. For them, the only alternative to rewilding is gigantic geoengineering programs. To illustrate the danger of such domination of nature, they read the classics of neoliberal literature against the grain. Hayek's thesis of “agnotology,” or unknowability, is turned on its head: it is not markets but ecosystems that are too complex to regulate. Can this idea be the basis for ecological policy in times of impending collapse?
