You are only counting living things as โ€œeconomyโ€. Thatโ€™s not wrong. Itโ€™s just one of the possible definitions. The current extinction is also intentional, which makes it different. Then again, do humans have โ€œintentโ€? I increasingly argue that they donโ€™t

The faster an economy rushes itself into growth, the sooner it will perish. All previous economies followed this fate except one: Earthโ€™s billion-year-old natural resource economy has never grown, shrunk or collapsed, at least not until humans came into the picture.

American Dictatorship: The Homegrown Edition I was born in Greece in 1973, seven months before the dictatorship ended.

If the Jan 6 insurrection had happened in any European country, its instigators would have been behind bars within hours, weeks at minimum.

Stewards of Destruction: How the Keystone Hypothesis Enabled Popular Science to Mislead Us In 1969 American ecologist Robert Paine removed as many starfish as he could from a section of a Washington beach, to see what would happen to the marine ecosystem.

Ecosystems are not human societies: they donโ€™t have kings, and they certainly donโ€™t award any favours or exclusive privileges to any species. These are all human inventions.
