Quotes by Philip Clayton  (?)

“Marxism criticizes the world’s dominant economic system, which allows people to amass as much wealth as they can and to spend it as they wish. Should we be surprised that this critique generates backlash? To acquire things and to use them selfishly is a big part of human nature. Technological advances—the new smartphone, the new app, the new car—make each new toy more enticing and addictive. Today technology, more than religion, has become the opium of the people. In developed and developing countries alike, people long to acquire more and consume more.”
Philip Clayton, Organic Marxism: An Alternative to Capitalism and Ecological Catastrophe

“The richest 400 families in America possess more wealth than the bottom 155 million Americans combined.7 The evidence is overwhelming that the wealthiest nations have designed the world economic system to bring maximum gains to themselves. This is not a “free” market; it is a market of virtual slavery for the increasingly impoverished classes around the globe. It is time for us to rise up and require markets to play the role of servant, not of master. Henceforth we expect markets to serve a subordinate role, fostering the goal of the “common good” for the planet as a whole.”
Philip Clayton, Organic Marxism: An Alternative to Capitalism and Ecological Catastrophe

“First is the recognition that the world’s major problems are all interconnected. The global crisis is not neatly divided into separate problems, some social and some environmental. As Pope Francis notes, we have “one complex crisis which is both social and environmental.”2 To focus on environmental issues without considering the social, or the social without the environmental, is a failure to grasp the true nature of the crisis.”
