"How does our system, which demands consumption and the more the better, efficiently preserve or “Economize” at all? Well… it doesn’t. The intent of the market system is, in fact, the exact opposite of what a real economy is supposed to do, which is efficiently and conservatively orient the materials for production and distribution of life supporting goods. We live on a finite planet, with finite resources where, for example, the oil we utilize took millions of years to develop… where the minerals we use took billions of years to develop. So…having a system that deliberately promotes the acceleration of consumption for the sake of so-called “economic growth” is pure ecocidal insanity."
— Peter Joseph (via zeitgeistmovement)
