Noam Chomsky states: “Dying for Capitalism is carefully reasoned and informed, spelling out what we can and must do, without delay.”
We are dying—literally—from capitalism, and if our species is to survive we need a new abolitionist movement whose goal is to overturn capitalism and replace it with policies and politics that are designed to meet the needs of the many, instead of the bottom lines of the few.
A triangle of extinction … capitalism, environmental destruction, and war, are creating an emergency that humanity-as-a-whole has never faced before.
Interview guest, Dr. Charles Derber, will tell us how runaway capitalism has brought us to the brink of extinction, trace the history of how the U.S. became the leading capitalist power, and chart a way to a more hopeful future.

Dr. Charles Derber is Professor of Sociology at Boston College and has written 26 books- on politics, democracy, fascism, corporations, capitalism, climate change, war, the culture wars, culture and conversation, and social change.
He writes for and has been reviewed in the NY Times, the Washington Post, the Boston Globe, Truthout, and other leading media. His books are translated into 14 languages and his most recent books include Dying for Capitalism, Welcome to the Revolution, Moving Beyond Fear, Sociopathic Society: A People's Sociology of the United States; Capitalism: Should You Buy It?
Guest Cohost:
Richard Nolthenius, Ph.D. is a member of the Earth Futures Institute with specialty in economics, at UC Santa Cruz, and is also Chair of the Astronomy Department at Cabrillo College in Santa Cruz, CA. Since 2009 Richard has shifted his focused to climate science and the human poly-crisis, and teaches a comprehensive course on climate change and its civilization context. By following the crisis’ threads, he finds no solution is possible which neglects the deep causes for human behavior, in virtually all areas. It’s not just a techno problem.
