20 myths about capitalism to debunk

Everyone would be green, from Trudeau to Macron, via Amazon and Total! So how can we explain the dramatic acceleration of the ecological crisis? While humanity is already suffering the violence of climate change, we are not all equal when it comes to this scourge. It’s time to identify the real polluters and the false allies, so that we can finally make the vital ecological shift. And to move beyond the pale green consensus that extols the carbon market or green technologies, we need to ask the taboo question: how do we get out of capitalism?

A self-defence course on the economy and ecology, this dialogue based on twenty major myths turns commonplaces on their head. You’ll learn why we should denounce overproduction rather than overconsumption, and why a capitalist economy based on renewable energies is unrealistic. You’ll also learn more about the interests and strategies of the fossil fuel industry, how to organise our economy differently and how to build a grassroots environmental movement.

An antidote to apathy, a goldmine of arguments for all your debates, Pour une écologie du 99% provides both the keys to understanding the origins of this crisis and the impetus needed to push us into action. Time is running out, and we don’t have the luxury of getting lost on the wrong tracks.
