will eat itself and the poor along the way, no one that I've found has a workable alternative. I think it's in our genes to be competitive and a utopia with everyone equal is impossible. I am not even sure that life would be worth living in that utopia. Having said that, capitalism and "growth" rely on exploiting natural resources and human labor. So what the frack are we going to do?
