Whether throughout the environment or within society, our systems are under stress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this book, Maja Gopel, co-founder of the Scientists for Future initiative and secretary-general of the German Advisory Council on Global Change, explains that this new reality didn't just happen overnight, but rather is a result of our continuous actions—actions propelled by principles and beliefs, which have shaped us as a society over generations. We do not solely face an environmental crisis, but also a social one. It's time to question our principles, set new goals, and re-evaluate our priorities. It's time to rethink our world, because if we want to keep our livelihoods, we need to find a way of living without draining our planet any further. We need a fair distribution of wealth and a way to reconcile the social with the ecological.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCritical, yet full of encouragement, Maja Gopel chooses surprising and enlightening examples to illustrate how we can leave behind our familiar ways of living to achieve a better future.

At the same time, however, it is ruining the climate and the environment, so that humanity's very existence is now at risk. \u003cem\u003eThe End of Capitalism\u003c\/em\u003e proposes that 'green growth' is supposed to be the saviour, but economics expert and bestselling author Ulrike Herrmann disagrees.

This failure is no coincidence, because the climate crisis goes to the heart of capitalism. Prosperity and growth are only possible if technology is used and energy is utilised. Unfortunately, however, green energy from the sun and wind will never be enough to fuel global growth. The industrialised countries must therefore bid farewell to capitalism and strive for a circular economy in which only what can be recycled is consumed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHerrmann makes a convincing argument that we won't get anywhere without personal restrictions and government planning. Her example for a solution is the British war economy of the 1940s.
