This book aims to critique capitalism, suggesting it is a key driver of environmental destruction. The author argues that the profit motive inherent in capitalism is detrimental to both the planet and human well-being. Drawing on insights from Marx, particularly from his later works, the author proposes a shift towards reducing consumption and slowing down the economy as a means to mitigate these issues. By advocating for ideas that lean towards the left and denounce capitalism, the author suggests a path towards a more sustainable future.
