French journalist Herve Kempf critiques the wealthy elite in his graphic novel 'How the Rich Plunder the Earth.' He argues that radicalized capitalism exacerbates ecological crises, as the super-rich contribute disproportionately to climate change. The wealth gap widens, and a digital class emerges, while the affluent promote a harmful cultural model influencing social groups. Kempf's reflections indicate that the ecological situation has markedly worsened since his earlier work, emphasizing the urgent need for change in how wealth impacts the planet.
"The overall ecological situation has worsened enormously. The super-rich have become even richer, and capitalism has radicalized, showing no regard for social issues or ecology."
"The richest 10% of the world's population generates approximately half of the planet's emissions, highlighting their significant impact on climate change and biodiversity loss."
