From the book's website:
Kit Webster, a career-long C-level executive in publicly- and privately- held companies, and a lifelong, dedicated, free-market capitalist, explores capitalism’s end of life, and capitalism’s overwhelmingly negative effects on the environment. Kit holds a Masters of Electrical Engineering degree from Rice University and is a Certified Public Accountant. He has lectured part-time in the MBA program and at the undergraduate business school of the University of Texas
Capitalism is Past Its Sell-By Date is an accessible discussion and analysis of capitalism’s past, present and future. It explores capitalism’s incredible accomplishments, its challenges and the most profound effect of its success – overconsumption that is challenging the Earth’s ecosystems and inhabitants. The intent is neither to praise nor to criticize capitalism, but to describe the current and future states of play.
Following a review of capitalism, Kit explores the environmental and economic implications of the exhaustion of the Earth’s resources, due primarily to capitalism’s ability to efficiently allocate materials, labor, capital and energy. Careful not to fall into line with Thomas Malthus or Dr. Paul Ehrlich, he examines the implications of growth in population and growth in consumption.
