Description
Capitalism at the Limit presents a critical political ecology perspective on the interconnected crises of our time—environmental degradation, social inequality, and economic instability. Brand and Wissen argue that capitalism has fundamentally exceeded the planetary boundaries necessary to sustain human civilization and social cohesion.
The authors analyze how the pursuit of endless growth and profit accumulation has created unsustainable demands on natural resources and human labor. They explore the mechanisms through which environmental costs are externalized and distributed unequally across the global population, disproportionately affecting marginalized communities.
Rather than offering simplistic solutions, this work examines the deep structural contradictions within capitalist systems and their relationship to ecological limits. The book provides intellectual frameworks for understanding contemporary crises while considering pathways toward more sustainable and equitable economic systems.
