@aral Aww come on ... you gotta link, Aral???

From the Law & Political Economy blog. Today's must read:

"Fredric Jameson once noted that 'it is easier to imagine the end of the #world than the end of #capitalism.'

That’s the famous version. What Jameson wrote in context is, 'Someone once said that it is easier to imagine the end of the world than to imagine the end of capitalism. We can now revise that and witness the attempt to imagine capitalism by way of imagining the end of the world.'

#ClimateChange offers a vivid illustration of Jameson’s point. Through climate change, the end of the world as #humans have known it is now imaginable to an unprecedented degree. And capitalism, viewed through the lens of climate change, appears to some observers to be a terminal #planetary #disease."
