OUTLINE OF THE ESSAY
This book has thirty three chapters divided in four parts.
In the first part, I will try to explain my notion about the inner essence of the capitalist economic system, its natural laws and mechanism, and how these cannot be altered without changing the system completely. These laws and mechanisms are the natural result of a particular environment, they were naturally suited to that environment; that original environment do not exist anymore and they cannot rationally function in a different situation.
In the second part, I will try to show the relation between capitalist economy and our present social and ecological problems. I will try to show how the natural laws and mechanism of capitalist economy are producing unnatural and irrational results when applied in the present environment of saturation: an environment which is almost the opposite of that in which these laws and mechanism have developed and could function in a rational way.
In the third part I will attempt to explain my point of view on ways by which we could evolve towards a more rational society. I will also try to explain a simple philosophical basis that could be a catalyst for people of different backgrounds who have the same basic interest in a meaningful survival.
In the fourth part of the booklet I will try to put into perspective the background stage on which the Human race has evolved: a small planet in one of the solar systems in a galaxy in the Universe. On this planet, Human societies have evolved, and capitalist society is one of them: a brief moment in the history of Humanity.
This brief analysis represents in essence my personal point of view on the nature of our present problems. I hope it may be a contribution to further and wider discussion.
