Capitalism in the Anthropocene

"Capitalism in the Anthropocene" refers to how our economic system—focused on private ownership and profit—impacts the planet's environment in a time when human activity is causing significant ecological changes. As industries grow and consumption increases, they contribute to climate change, resource depletion, and biodiversity loss. This concept explores balancing economic development with sustainable practices, recognizing that capitalism's current model may need to evolve to protect the Earth’s health for current and future generations. It emphasizes the importance of rethinking economic priorities to address environmental challenges effectively.
