The book explores the connection between environmental degradation and wealth inequality, emphasizing that the exploitation of nature for economic gain contributes to these issues. It highlights the need to address the under-pricing of natural resources and improve human capital accumulation as vital steps toward rectifying structural imbalances in contemporary economies. Through historical and modern examples, it advocates for a reevaluation of how economic wealth is generated and its impact on the environment.
