Capitalocene

The Capitalocene is a term used to describe a proposed era in which capitalism is the driving force behind environmental and social changes. It suggests that the current ecological crises, like climate change and biodiversity loss, are largely a result of capitalist practices, such as overconsumption and exploitation of resources. This concept contrasts with terms like "Anthropocene," which implies that human activity as a whole is to blame. The Capitalocene focuses on how economic systems and power structures influence our relationship with nature and contribute to ecological degradation.
