If McKinsey is to be taken seriously then the only way forward is to abolish capitalism. It is not what they want but of you pay any sort of attention then it is a prerequisite as it is the compulsion for consumption, that capitalists have, that is going to burn us all. But they are very wrong. Ever increasing consumption is not a prerequisite for a economy that is good to live in. We do not need to abolish capitalism, but we do need to control and regulate it. If we are going to avoid global ecological catastrophe then we will need to do some planning. Things that are cheapest in short and medium term will have to be abandoned for things that avert the disaster. Markets can not do that. It needs to be done locally for local conditions with a eye for global requirements. This requires people in politics to use their brains and it requires the people to support the politicians in what is going to become a difficult struggle with folks like those from McKinsey - people desperate to maintain their privilege, desperate to monotonically increase their consumption. In lucky places this will be done by the ballot box. In less lucky places mass NVDA (non-violent direct action). In the very unlucky places it will require arson. I have faith in humans. My favourite species. The vast mass of us will shut down these greed heads from the height of capitalism and bring them back down to Earth.
