The crux of the matter: “Life itself dying off because we are trying to use 18th century economics — built for the industrial age — to solve 21st century problems.”

Evolution of economic systems: what comes after capitalism?

There is nothing "after" capitalism which hasn't already been tried with disastrous consequences (read: death, starvation, and violence).

Either you own your body, your land, your labor, and your money -- or the state owns them for you. What makes the state a good determiner of what's best for humanity? It doesn't have that great a track record.

Capitalism with accounting of externalities, priced by the market. It's not that hard to conceive.
