> THE DISCUSSION OF climate change, as of every other aspect of the planetary crisis, tends to be dominated by the question of capitalism and other economic issues; geopolitics, empire, and questions of power figure in it far less. One reason for this is that the modern citizen has become, almost unconsciously, Homo economicus: “Not only has the influence of Economy spread throughout the world,” writes the philosopher of economics Jean Dupuy, “it has taken over our very ways of thinking about the world.”
