“Modern capitalism is inherently antiecological: the nuclear relationship from which it is constituted—the buyer-seller relationship—pits individual against individual and, on the larger scale, humanity against nature. Capital’s law of life of infinite expansion, of “production for the sake of production” and “consumption for the sake of consumption,” turns the domination and exploitation of nature into the “highest good” of social life and human self-realization.”

— Murray Bookchin, Radical Agriculture
