Video: Post-Capitalism by Design not Disaster – A Grassroots Theory of Change
Capitalism has various growth imperatives that are inconsistent with environmental limits. That is, capitalism must grow for stability but cannot grow limitlessly on a finite planet. It follows that the future will be post-capitalist – by design or disaster.
In this presentation I explore a grassroots theory of change that I argue is the most coherent way to help drive a post-capitalist transition by design.
This is Part V of the Ecological Civilisation series.
The introduction to this series is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxC-rqY5ngg&list=PLGyDELJdHq36Pl6FtVu7V75OIF04SMW-5&index=1
The series is grappling with the problems of consumerism and the growth economy; envisioning alternative, post-carbon ways of life; and considering what action can be taken, both personally and politically, to help build an ecological civilisation.
