Part III - Back to the Future
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 October 2021
Summary
A minimal bioeconomic program would curb the major abuses of unchecked global capitalism. Polices include maximum and minimum limits to income and wealth, universal affordable health care and education, and an expansion of protected wild areas. Implementing these policies would not solve the basic contradiction of global capitalism – an inherently expansionary system within a finite planet – but it would buy time to make the transition to a sustainable society less catastrophic.
