How to Quit Capitalism

In its unbridled form, capitalism has ushered in an era where consumerism is king, and possessions are the yardstick of success. In this relentless pursuit of more, we have lost sight of what truly matters–our connection to each other, our harmony with nature, and our sense of purpose beyond material gains.

We’re trapped in a cycle that glorifies wealth and power, ignoring the human cost it entails–a cost paid in the currency of social injustice, environmental degradation and a deep sense of existential void.
