This book uses Figueroa's unified theory of capitalism to explain
how economic growth has led to a new epoch, the Anthropocene, and
it presents a new set of economic principles that are needed in
this new age. The policies presented in the book are derived from
an empirically corroborated scientific theory. Therefore, this book
is unique in its discussion of public policy as the result of
scientific knowledge, rather than based on ideology or private
interests. In the new epoch we have entered, man is now the main
factor in the fate of the Earth, and in social terms, the
Anthropocene age also implies a period of high and persistent
income inequality in the capitalist system, with the consequence of
social disorder. Figueroa considers these conditions and addresses
fundamental problems of our time, such as the ideal organization of
production and distribution, and the functionality of a zero-growth
society. Standard economics would approach these problems under the
assumption that we still live in the Holocene age, but in this
book, Figueroa both explains and develops new economic principles
for this new context.
