  • More about Irrationality of Capitalism and Climate Change: Prospects for an Alternative Future

The book Irrationality of Capitalism and Climate Change argues that the roots of humanity's assault on the environment are directly associated with the origins of capitalism, an irrational social system in which reproduction of capital on a global scale is destructive. It proposes rational socialism as a life-affirming social system that functions in harmony with the environment.

The scientific evidence is overwhelming that planet Earth is experiencing a dramatic climate change that poses a significant threat to the quality of life worldwide. In his book, Irrationality of Capitalism and Climate Change, the author explores the connection between capitalism, an irrational social system, and the environmental degradation we witness today. The author begins by delving into a philosophical analysis of the roles of reason and passion in social systems, before tracing the local and regional environmental impacts of preindustrial societies.

The author argues that nations face a global challenge: to develop life-affirming policies that serve as an alternative to the devastating consequences of capital accumulation. He proposes rational socialism as a solution, a life-affirming social system that harmonizes with the environment.

The book concludes by emphasizing the urgent need for action to address the climate crisis and promote a sustainable future for all. It serves as a powerful call to action, urging individuals and governments to take responsibility for their actions and work towards a more just and environmentally friendly world.
