Just posted "Defining the Undefinable" from Sustainable Capitalism: Contradiction in Terms or Essential Work for the Anthropocene. In this chapter, I review common definitions and understandings of capitalism and conclude the term holds contradictory and incomplete meanings because capitalism does not exist in a vacuum. It absorbs, shapes, and is shaped by its social, economic, and political context. https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4319519 #sustainability #capitalism #sustainablecapitalism #anthropocene

@kathhayhoe Interesting ?--I haven't had aggressive anti-science issues in my classes, so I don't have a sense of how bad this can get. But I would expect that type of limiting language to sit within an assignment rather than the syllabus (i.e., in this discussion, use X or Y reading to explain the likelihood of catastrophic hurricanes in the future...etc. etc.)--otherwise, is the entire class closed off to anything other than class materials? Sounds bleak.
Right is weaponizing #antitrust against #ESG and #climate to protect #fossilfuel--a threat I've been warning about for years. #antitrust needs reform to redefine consumer benefit: 4 degrees of warming is not a benefit to anyone other than #fossilfuel https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ablj.12168?af=R
