We need to change this system--and we need to do it now. \u003ci\u003eSix Capitals\u003c\/i\u003e charts the rise of four movements designed to overthrow capitalism as we know it: multi-capital accounting, for society, nature, and profit; the push for a new corporation legally bound to benefit nature and society while making a profit; ecosystem accounting for nations; and legal rights for nature, which resonate with indigenous earth-centered laws.These movements are critical for the future of human life on this planet. Together they override the profit-driven modern corporation, the growth-driven nation state, and the legal status of the natural world as lifeless property. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Multi-capital and ecosystem accounting, benefit corporations, and the rights of nature movement are here to stay. \u003ci\u003eSix Capitals\u003c\/i\u003e tells their story, from their first emergence in the postwar era to today.
