Though I think it's important to also look at how common people are reluctant to change. Basically, I think environmental degradation is tied to the dynamics of capitalism — a need for endless growth on a finite planet. When people think of changing away from capitalism, socialism and communism come to mind — both terms have a largely negative connotation in American society. Non-capitalistic political candidates have a lot to overcome to win office. I wonder how we could make the idea of sustainability and economic degrowth appeal to the masses and people with political power.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16888684127500350288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5602781863177203970.post-72528604777133965762015-09-13T21:40:36.409-07:002015-09-13T21:40:36.409-07:00This is one of the most exciting articles I've...This is one of the most exciting articles I've seen posted so far.
