THIS is #Ecocide, ultimately responsible for which is our growth-dependent, grossly materialistic, mercenary, rapacious & DRIVEN global economy, which is inherently UNSUSTAINABLE on our finite, vulnerable & overpopulated planet, #SpaceshipEarth.

In 1975, #HerbertGruhl published his book, Ein Planet Wird Geplündert, in German (Engl. We are Plundering our Planet).
I'm a very slow reader in German, but didn't need to read the whole book or remember the details. Everything that needed to be said was contained in the title.

We are plundering our planet! Quite literally. And there is only one consequence this can have: suicide of the civilisation responsible.
Unfortunately, it is not just own civilisation that will fail & fall. It will take much of humanity & of our planet's biodiversity with it.

Why do the academics we look to as authorities on understanding society & civilisation fail to recognise this?
I started asking myself this question in the 1980s, & came up with the answer around 2008, which I have been trying to interest people (esp. academics) in ever since.
