 These systems operate to change the world, not only in material terms (production systems, products, infrastructures as well as depletion of resources, pollution of the environment, alteration of ecological systems) but in social and psychological terms (changing people’s levels of resources, their welfare; changing communities, occupations, lifestyles, cultural perspectives).Capitalist systems impact then not only on individuals, but communities, resource bases, and ecological systems.These are extraordinary powers shaping and reshaping human lives and destinies.
