Read an interesting -- and fairly short -- book by John Bellamy Foster called What Every Environmentalist Needs to Know About Capitalism. He's a professor of sociology. (Capitalism is a misnomer. Capitalism, pure capitalism, means no state/government intervention. We radically violate free market principles all the time by building roads, highways, schools, employing cops, firefighters etc., etc.) But it focuses on the vast destruction of the natural world by state capitalism.... And what we have to do to live in harmony, as it were, with nature. Our economic system treats the natural world as an externality. Something we can exploit and not concern ourselves with. And, too, future generations have no bearing in our economic calculations.

Interesting thread.
I'm reading a book called A Language Older than Words by Derrick Jensen. It's about the natural world. Deeply philosophical.
