[/topic/Capitalism]Capitalism as we know it is over. So suggests a new report commissioned by a group of scientists appointed by the [/topic/un-secretary-general]UN secretary general. The main reason? We’re transitioning rapidly to a radically different global economy, due to our increasingly unsustainable exploitation of the planet’s environmental resources and the shift to less efficient [/topic/energy-sources]energy sources.

[/topic/climate-change]Climate change and species extinctions are accelerating even as societies are experiencing rising inequality, unemployment, slow economic growth, rising debt levels, and impotent governments. Contrary to the way policymakers usually think about these problems these are not really separate crises at all.

These crises are part of the same fundamental transition. The new era is characterised by inefficient fossil fuel production and escalating costs of climate change.Conventional capitalist economic thinking can no longer explain, predict or solve the workings of the global economy in this new age.
