| Sumario: | This article attempts to examine the ecological crisis as a structural crisis of the mode of capitalist production and reproduction, while proposing lines of reflection to understand the mode in which this is related to economic crisis. To that end, the categories offered by Marxism, in its ecological current, are presented not only to understand the rise of the crisis based on overproduction but also of the crisis due to underproduction. Thus, the incorporation of the concept of nature subsumed to capital is proposed, in order to characterize the growing process of capitalist appropriation of natural surroundings and the creation of a second nature. Finally, as a corollary to the ecological crisis, there arises an increase in environmental inequality and, therefore, an increase in environmental conflict. |
