Enough, already: why humanity must get on board with the concept of ‘sufficiency’
Humanity’s rapacious consumption is more than Earth and its climate can handle, which is driving an ecological crisis.
Capitalism can never know sufficiency.
Don't forget sexual selection for conspicous consumption and social status, plus evolutionary winner-takes-it-all. Capitalism is also a system driven by darwinian-like evolutionary processes.
Yep, that's literally the whole point of capitalism, always more. Infinite growth in a finite system is impossible. And despite what some people are saying, we're definitely not in the part where exiting our finite system is viable.
