by Michael Smith (Veshengro) If we but look at how those that have become detached, so to speak, the homeless and the unemployed, which were created by this automated, money-centered market has first created and then discarded, are seen and treated as parasites and when people watch those that have nothing starve or freeze to death we are looking into the face of the pathology of capitalism.

For-profit capitalism has created social and economic inequality; successful not-for-profit businesses including Mozilla and the Big Issue point to an alternative path At the heart of the failing capitalist system is the “for-profit” ethic. In essence, capitalism ensures that we live in a for-profit world. This way of conducting business has led to socioeconomic inequality , with capital gains and company dividends the largest contributor to income divides.

A greener capital - communities make their mark with 12,000 free trees from the Mayor of London and the Woodland Trust This autumn, communities across London will transform neighbourhoods with over 12,000 free trees from the Woodland Trust. The trees have been generously provided by the Mayor of London as part of his RE:LEAF, programme to plant more trees in the capital. These 12,000 trees will make a real difference and we would like to help communities in the capital do even more.

Thanks to drought and over-pumping underground water reserves in the western region of Tehran, Iran’s capital city, fissures also known as sinkholes are opening up, causing Iran’s major city and capital city to sink. The sinkholes threaten people’s homes and the local infrastructure. While some Middle Eastern countries like Israel are seeing record rain, Tehran is feeling the effects of a three-decades long drought.

by Michael Smith (Veshengro) As the late Bob Crow said: “I didn't become a trade unionist just to tweak capitalism. I want to smash capitalism and every rotten thing it stands for.” When parties like the Social Democrats and the British Labour Party talk about making capitalism more human, giving capitalism a social conscience, and such, this is absolute and utter baloney.

by Michael Smith (Veshengro) The final stages of capitalism, Karl Marx predicted, would be marked by global capital being unable to expand and generate profits at former levels. If all those indicators are something to go by then we are in the last, the final, stages of capitalism as an economic (and political) system. Capitalism, in its final hour, so to speak, is destroying the state and everything that goes with it, and with it society as we know it.

It is interesting to see the choice of words of the think tank to call the new economy to follow after capitalism a co-operative one. State-ownership of businesses is not socialism or communism but state capitalism.

Of course this kind of work takes a lot of capital; tapping into new sources of funding will allow us to replicate this success story in struggling fisheries across the world. The idea here is to raise capital to help cities invest in green roofs, permeable pavement, new and restored wetlands and other natural solutions that absorb water or help it flow at a more manageable rate. To the extent that these interventions work, investors will earn higher returns on their capital.

Natural Capitalism is based on respecting and learning from the natural order of things rather than replacing nature with human cleverness. -- Satish Kumar Natural capital is the living world that provides resources and ecosystem services, which we can neither replace nor live without. Each year these trees accrued natural capital. The capital was then re-invested elsewhere. If we protect our natural world, all by itself it will accrue natural capital.
