The Myth of Green Capitalism
Katharina Pistor | Project Syndicate - TRANSCEND Media Service,
4 Oct 2021
It is perfectly understandable that major corporations and private financial institutions would rally behind new disclosure standards and other market-based measures to address climate change. It is an approach that allows the owners of capital yet another way to avoid a real reckoning. If business and finance leaders were serious, they would recognize the need to change course drastically to ensure that this planet remains hospitable for all of humanity now and in the future.

4 Oct 2021

A formidable assertion of military force responsible for the death and mutilation of thousands and thousands of innocent people.
