Just a little more than 150 years after the publication of Das Kapital, by the eponymous Karl Marx, capitalism finds itself under scrutiny again. For a time the failures of Marxism, as a political ideology, and the failures of socialism, as a means of economic organization, were so globally apparent that there seemed no longer to be anything to argue about. Inequality has now rekindled the old debate over capitalism versus alternative forms of government or economic organization.
Differences in degree are masked by a simple capitalism-versus-socialism dichotomy. Nevertheless, this book takes up this debate on these simplified terms, and with respect to only one question, but one of existential importance to humankind: How will human civilization right its horribly, tragically errant relationship with the planet it inhabits?
