My review of Alyssa Battistoni's Free Gift in The Nation: www.thenation.com/article/soci...

In case you missed it, the 2025 Area Development and Policy Annual Lecture paper is a must-read. Rentier capitalism, technofascism and the destruction of the common by Kohei Saito & Ryuji Sasaki doi.org/10.1080/2379... @regstud.bsky.social

How can Ecosocialism and Critical Agrarian Studies help us understand a world in ecological decay? In a new article, @koheisaito.bsky.social bridges the theoretical divide between the fields, providing a powerful framework to analyze our world #OpenAccess www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

New article of mine, "Ecosocialism and Critical Agrarian Studies," is now available for free in The Journal of Peasant Studies!! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Marxista, ecologista i partidari del decreixement: aquests són els tres eixos del pensament del filòsof japonès Kohei Saito (Tòquio, 1987), que gràcies a assajos molt cr...

Shit, Kohei Saito kommer till Stockholm för att prata om marxism och degrowth?? Har helt missat. 8 november: www.gnistor.se/event/2025-1...

Hey @domschott.bsky.social und @gamespodcast.bsky.social - spannende Diskussionen im aktuellen Mailbag! Zum Thema „Alternativen zum Kapitalismus“ und der Frage „Muss eigentlich alles auf Wachstum hinauslaufen?“ finde ich @koheisaito.bsky.social total spannend: www.dtv.de/buch/systems...

Essential reading for those who are not scared to take a fresh look at seemingly familiar things. The #commons are one important way forward as the planetary crisis accelerates & cascades. Community resilience is the key to perpetual adaptation. #TransitionDesign

My new article "Rentier capitalism, technofascism and the destruction of the common" now published in Area Development and Policy (open access)!! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Slow Down by @koheisaito.bsky.social is a valuable perspective this all going forward, though at the time of writing he anticipated we may have time before reaching 2º warming, if it's a lost cause it changes only the approach and not the goal. The goal is to mitigate harm and support each other.

My work reviewed w/ @koheisaito.bsky.social in @nybooks.com yet no cool pic w/Marx on my shoulder (jk it’s more about Kohei). “Huber…sees eco crisis as a consequence neither of growth nor of capitalist tech but of how & for whom the modern economy’s productive powers have been put to work”

Next week in Berlin! www.volksbuehne.berlin/de/repertoir...

Hab mir letztens in Tokyo ein (gebrauchtes) Buch von @koheisaito.bsky.social gekauft und siehe da, es war doch tatsächlich signiert :D Zum Buch selbst: Es gibt (noch?) keine deutsche Uebersetzung und es ist vll sein am wenigsten hardcore-theoretisches Werk.

Save the Date: On July 9, Kohei Saito will discuss his work on Marx's ecological critique of capitalism with Rahel Jaeggi & Thomas Khurana. Tickets available at Volksbühne: www.volksbuehne.berlin#/de/repertoi... More info: criticaltheoryinberlin.de/en/event/fre...

Ich freue mich auf diese Buchpräsentation am Mittwoch, 4. Juni, in Hamburg. #KapitalismusAmLimit @fos-uhh.bsky.social @uni-hamburg.de

Comença la conversa del filòsof Kohei Saito amb el periodista Xavi Bundó que porta per títol: "Pensament crític en temps d’emergència”. Primer descobrim perquè la ciutat de Barcelona apareix citada tantes vegades en el seu llibre

Se vogliamo cambiare le cose, bisogna che la maggior parte delle persone, quella che attualmente venera eventi come le Olimpiadi e l’Expo, cambi la sua visione del mondo. L'opinione di Kohei Saito.

More Marxism please :)

Kohei Saito sieht die Welt am Abgrund des Klimakollapses. Nur ein auf Degrowth ausgerichteter Kriegskommunismus könne wieder in bessere Zeiten führen.
