People talk about the “golden age” of the American economy like the tax rate on the rich was the highest in the literal history of the country…

Over half the world’s emissions come from state owned companies. Capitalism really isn’t the through line here.

Ik I was really just responding to the comment I wasn’t really speaking on the graph. More so talking about how capitalism is “cooking” the middle class alive.

Working to compete in a capitalist system that demands growth year after, though. Degrowth is not possible because any company that does it falls behind and suffers financially.

States don’t adopt degrowth policies either because fossil fuels are usually a critical part of state and because degrowth requires significant sacrifices by the population. A more sensible solution is to have a cap and trade scheme that sets a carbon cap. It will prevent the growth of some companies but the impact will be lessened sense it builds in the incentive for carbon reducing policies and technologies that harm output/growth as little as possible
