On Capitalogenic Climate Crisis: Unthinking Man, Nature and the Anthropocene, and Why It Matters for Planetary Justice
Real-World Economics Review
(2023)
Abstract
Just as we know who was responsible for the slave trade, and who profited from it -- in some cases right down to the specific families and firms -- so too do we know who is responsible for the climate crisis. And we know who has profited from that death drive towards the planetary inferno. In the words of the radical folksinger Utah Phillips, we know who is responsible, and they have names and addresses. This is the spirit of the radical challenge to the Environmentalism of the Rich and its superconcept, the Anthropocene. To them we say, Another biosphere is possible!
