What I am thinking about nowadays is the effects of capitalism
and the environmental disaster that will take place because distribution of wasteful products was so successful in this consuming society. Can capitalism clean up the mess it created? messy
things like all the landfills and toxic waste piles that are
all over the place? How can it be done profitably? Answers will be appreciated.
