Monumental Shift: Creating a New Economy with Genuine Democracy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781533302908)

Capitalism, to quench its voracious appetite, is devouring global resources at an unparalleled rate while exploiting millions of poor people in America and billions around the world. In its 'March of Folly', capitalism is devastating forests and earth's eco-systems while polluting planet's environment, oceans, rivers and soil. This obsolete economic system, being the single biggest driver of climate change--if not stopped and replaced--will ultimately destroy humanity itself along with all the living species of the planet earth. Ecological collapse is certain if capitalism continues unabated. Today, the greatest threat facing humanity is climate change and the biggest contributor to it is global capitalism. Ecological crisis is the greatest manifestation of capitalist threat. In America, imposed on its people for more than two centuries, the unbridled capitalism has enabled few individuals to amass unimaginable fortunes at the expense of millions of its people who wallow in poverty. Enormous wealth has enabled these individuals to hijack American democracy and establish an oligarchy. Simply put, capitalism is undemocratic, anti-people, anti-environment and unsustainable. Capitalism's crusade around the world--if not stopped and replaced with a modern economic system that is people and nature-friendly and sustainable--will destroy humanity itself along with all other living species of this beautiful planet. Chaitanya Dav describes in detail the fatal flaws of this outdated economic system that has been imposed on us. He understands that we cannot solve ecological crisis without confronting capitalism. He knows that capitalism has become a failed system in terms of economy, ecology and peoples' welfare. In this detailed book, he proposes a new democratic economy that is fair, people-friendly, sustainable and in harmony with nature.
