End of the Megamachine: How Capitalism & Its Crises Have Turned Us Into a Failing Civilisation

We speak to Fabian Scheidler, author of ‘The End of the Megamachine. A Brief History of a Failing Civilisation’ (). He discusses why capitalism is in terminal crisis due to its continuous growth model, why he classifies human civilisation as a failing civilisation, how capitalism will likely not go through a sudden collapse but rather transition into something else, how crises such a climate change and coronavirus continue to break capitalism, the role of neoliberalism in accelerating capitalism’s collapse, capitalism’s reliance on 70% of the world being cheap labour, the role of regime change and debt in keeping nations poor and more! #Capitalism #ClimateChange #Inequality LIKE Going Underground FOLLOW Going Underground SUBSCRIBE to Going Underground FOLLOW Afshin Rattansi
