Our suggestion is that the environmental movement - like so many other social movements fighting the ills of capitalism - has failed not only because capitalism has been an overpowering historical force, but also because capitalism has fundamentally shaped the movement, its social base, ideas, and strategies of action. Capitalism does not just involve the exploitation of natural resources; it shapes how we in modern society think about, and organize, the relationship between society and nature.
