The book critiques the rationality of Western modernity and its free market capitalism in light of the global ecological crisis. Drawing on the ideas of Nietzsche, Adorno, Horkheimer, and Marx, it argues that capitalism functions as a global religion, shaping cultural values and beliefs. Goodchild offers a philosophical alternative that challenges readers, including philosophers, critical theorists, and those engaged in ecological politics, to reconsider the implications of their faith in modernity and capitalism.
