【Winner of the "Shinsho Taisho 2021" Award!】 The era of the Anthropocene, where human economic activity is destroying the Earth = the age of environmental crisis. If we leave climate change unchecked, this society will fall into a state of barbarism. To prevent this, we must stop the endless pursuit of profit by capitalism, but can prosperity exist in a civilization that has abandoned capitalism? No, there is a solution to the crisis. The hint was hidden in the thoughts of late Marx, which the author unearthed. A globally acclaimed young talent concretely depicts the path to a prosperous future society! 【Highly praised by various fields!】 ■ Mr. Masaru Sato (Author) Saito has surpassed Piketty. This is the true "Capital in the Twenty-First Century." ■ Ms. Mari Yamazaki (Manga artist/Writer) If you want to avoid being defeated by the merciless violence of economic power and cultivate the wisdom and strength to live a strong future, this book will undoubtedly be a powerful support. ■ Mr. Satoshi Shirai (Political Scientist) Pay close attention to this brilliant combination of theory and practice. ■ Mr. Ryuichi Sakamoto (Musician) What if it were possible to stop the climate crisis, enrich life, increase leisure time, and eliminate disparities? ■ Mr. Kazuo Mizuno (Economist) If we end capitalism, a prosperous society will come. But if we don't stop capitalism, history will end. This is a shocking masterpiece that breaks common sense. 【Main Contents】 Introduction: SDGs are the "opium of the masses"!
