Dying for Capitalism analyzes the triangle of extinction that links capitalism, environmental destruction, and militarism as a system that cannot sustain life on the planet.

In digestible and elegant prose, easy to read and exciting to absorb, Derber and Moodliar show brilliantly how runaway capitalism, climate change and militarism (with its nuclear threat) create the perfect storm that threatens human survival. With many ah-ha moments, they make an urgent call, based on solid evidence, for a 21st century movement to abolish carbon emissions and nuclear weapons, taking inspiration from the movement to abolish slavery. They make the impossible seem not only possible, but essential. Read it and jump into the movement waters that will nourish your soul and might just save the planet.
