Yes, but what does that have to do with the tedious "everything bad that happens is capitalism" trope?
There's not much that's scientific about that.
It is the dominant political economy in the world at this time. Itβs connected to climate change through overconsumption caused by the need for financial growth. I encourage you not to take some randos opinion, and look into it yourself. Good luck.
If you want I can scientifically prove capitalism is the source of the majority of bad things currently happening in capitalist society; but lets be honest you just really don't understand the word capitalism if you're defending it.
