4. Crises by Nature: How Humanity Saved the Biosphere
   
   by Capitalist Crisis Studies. Critique of Capital's "desire" to justify characterological self-sacrifice via "science" paradoxical to that which it used to depose its theocratic predecessor.
   
   Excerpt:

   "The whole tenor of the ferment which has come to be be called the 'ecology movement' has accustomed many of us to think of ourselves as the scourge of the biosphere; virtual intruders in Nature, whose unwelcome visitation has contributed only disruption and destruction to an otherwise perfectly self-regulated natural harmony, and which visitation can do nothing else. The best we can hope for, we are told, is to minimize the damage by consuming less, and producing less — especially less of ourselves."
