Andreas Malm (born 1976 or 1977)[1] is a Swedish[2] author and an associate professor of human ecology at Lund University.[3][4] He is on the editorial board of the academic journal Historical Materialism,[5] and has been described as a Marxist.[6] Naomi Klein, who quoted Malm in her book This Changes Everything, has called him "one of the most original thinkers on the subject" of climate change.[7]

Career

In 2010, Malm joined the

Socialistiska Partiet; he had been in contact with the party since attending a summer camp it ran in 1997.[8]

In 2014, Malm successfully defended his thesis Fossil Capital: The Rise of Steam-Power in the British Cotton Industry, c. 1825-1848, and the Roots of Global Warming, and obtained a

PhD from Lund University.[9] He released a reworked version of his thesis as Fossil Capital, published by Verso Books.[10]

During a conference at Stockholm University in December 2023 on Palestinian resistance, Andreas Malm celebrated the "heroic armed resistance in Gaza". He thus expressed his “astonishment” and his “tears of joy” following the Hamas attacks against Israel in 2023.[11][12][13]

Malm has authored several books and is a contributor to the magazine

human-caused climate change.[15] The book was adapted into the 2022 narrative film How to Blow Up a Pipeline.[16]

Psychoanalytic understanding of the climate crisis

     On the far right, you see this aggressive defense of cars and fossil fuels that verges on a desire for destruction, ... Denial is as central to the development of the climate crisis as the greenhouse effect.

—Andreas Malm in January, 2024[17]

In

prime movers to be near cheap labor rather than bound to suitable waterways.[18]

In September 2021, Malm was a guest on The New Yorker Radio Hour, where he echoed the central claim of How to Blow Up a Pipeline by advocating that the climate movement use sabotage as a tactic and embrace a diversity of tactics.[19]
