Review: The End of Capitalism: Why Growth and Climate Protection are
Incompatible – Ulrike Herrmann, translated by David Shaw (Scribe)
Beware of hyperbolic headlines. But in this case, I’m afraid, as Ulrike
Herrmann’s very readable book
The End of Capitalism makes clear, the choice
between capitalism and civilisation really does seem to be either/or – and the
end will probably come a lot sooner that we thought.
Anyone who isn’t alarmed about the rapid and well-documented decline in the
global environment, upon which we and our atypically comfortable lifestyles
depend, really hasn’t been paying attention. You may not enjoy reading a book
like this, but you really should read it – if only for your children’s sake.
The End of Capitalism appeared in Germany a couple of years ago, but it has
lost none of its relevance or urgency. On the contrary, with Donald Trump in
the White House promising to “drill, baby drill”, it could hardly be more
timely."
