On February 28th at 4pm EST, I will join Dr. Erald Kolasi and Jordan Whelchel for a virtual panel on Dr. Kolasi’s new book ‘The Physics of Capitalism’, hosted by the Critical Theory Workshop on the Critical Theory Workshop Youtube Channel.

Here’s a short description of the book and event:

The economic and demographic growth of human civilization over the last few centuries has profoundly impacted natural ecosystems throughout the planet, triggering major instabilities across the biosphere that threaten to reverberate on civilization and to destabilize its long-term trajectory. Swamped with multiple ecological and economic challenges of historic proportions, global civilization now stands at a critical tipping point that deserves closer scrutiny. If we are to have any hope of addressing the difficult challenges we face, then we must begin by understanding them and appreciating their complexity. And then, we must act. Join our panel as they discuss Erald Kolasi’s new book, The Physics of Capitalism, which aims to explain the biophysical and technological dynamics of modern capitalism while also unveiling a comprehensive blueprint for our collective future, pointing the way to a new post-capitalist order that can provide long-term viability and stability for human civilization on a global scale.

Erald Kolasi received his PhD in Physics from George Mason University in 2016. He has written widely on economics and ecological dynamics. He lives with his wife and two kids in Virginia.
