The Capitalocene: On the Nature and Origins of Our Ecological Crisis (book)

*The Capitalocene: On the Nature and Origins of Our Ecological Crisis* argues that the current environmental problems—like climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution—are primarily driven by capitalism, not humans in general or the natural world. The term "Capitalocene" suggests that the economic system of capitalism, with its focus on endless growth and resource extraction, is a key factor shaping ecological decline. The book encourages understanding how economic and social structures have contributed to environmental issues, emphasizing that addressing these crises requires changing these systems, not just individual behaviors.
