Quotes:
“The main cause of capitalism’s problems is overpopulation”
Despite its successes, and perhaps because of them, capitalism created, or could not prevent the creation of, the two problems that now threaten its survival: enormous economic inequalities both between and within countries, and the largely worsening if not the destruction of the natural environment. As we have analyzed in a previous chapter, the main cause of these problems is overpopulation in relation to the resources provided by the Earth.
Theodore P. Lianos, 2024 from the book Capitalism, Degrowth and the Steady State Economy Debating Future Economic Models
