Is capitalism still sustainable?
In this bold and timely critique, bestselling author and social critic Jerry Mander argues that capitalism is fundamentally incompatible with the planet’s limits and human well-being.

Building on his acclaimed Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television, Mander exposes capitalism’s inherent flaws: its dependence on endless growth, disregard for morality, erosion of democracy, and reliance on inequality and even war as economic engines.

As climate change accelerates and global resources dwindle, Mander contends that capitalism—once effective in a different era—is now a destructive force. He highlights movements already envisioning new, democratic systems that prioritize ecological limits and social justice.
