The Earth will become uninhabitable for humankind before capitalism collapses. The famous American environmental activist Bill McKibben puts it this way: “The diminished availability of fossil fuel is not the only limit we face. In fact, it’s not even the most important. Even before we run out of oil, we’re running out of planet.”23 This quote still holds true if we replace the words “fossil fuel” and “oil” with the word “capitalism.” We must remember that if the planet fails, it’s game over for humanity. There is no planet B.
