THE FUTURE OF LIFE ON EARTH AND CAPITALISM: ARE THEY COMPATIBLE?

Scientist and Canadian broadcaster David Suzuki’s environmental non-profit foundation works to “design a vision of Earth in which humans live within the planet’s productive capacity.” He’s got a very direct and simple way of explaining what that means, particularly in relation to exponential population growth in a 2010 video that’s only just started to be discovered and passed around.
If you understand the concept of how “compound interest” works, and have even slightly more than half a brain in your head, be prepared to have a deflating “Oh shit…” moment when he gets to the not so amusing punchline.
No matter what your political persuasion might be, there is nothing to gloat over here, I can assure you. Nothing at all!
