"To speak of â€˜limits to growthâ€™ under a capitalistic market economy is as meaningless as to speak of limits of warfare under a warrior society. The moral pieties, that are voiced today by many well-meaning environmentalists, are as naive as the moral pieties of multinationals are manipulative. Capitalism can no more be â€˜persuadedâ€™ to limit growth than a human being can be â€˜persuadedâ€™ to stop breathing. Attempts to â€˜greenâ€™ capitalism, to make it â€˜ecologicalâ€™, are doomed by the very nature of the system as a system of endless growth."

-- Murray Bookchin
