You can't have a shrinking economy in capitalism. The only reason this kind of economy works is when property and business owners, rich people, make more money from money. This is not an issue of morality or greed; it's an inevitable fact. The instant this stops being the case on a global scale at that, banks will stop lending to companies, and the entire economy will come to a halt within a heartbeat. No food, no electricity, no work, nothing. Mass unemployment and global crisis will ensue. Capitalism isn't there to provide, its only goal is to make profit, no matter how. If there is no profit to be made from you, you might as well die since no one would care. Remember 2008 when the banks were saved at the expense of the average person? This is how important credit os to this system. As long as we have capitalism, there is no other way. It is literally impossible within this economic system.

The capitalist class is willing to commit Mass Murder on a human scale for the sake of their profits.

Is Ignoring Climate Change Akin to Mass Murder? Troubling Ethical Conclusions about Climate Change and its Effects
Posted by Sandra Borden for Study of Ethics in Society
Jonathan Milgrim, faculty specialist in the WMU Department of Philosophy, argues that climate change and the harms related to climate change are both global in nature and anthropogenic. Even if radical reductions of greenhouse gasses are implemented and there is massive funding of mitigation efforts, the harms from climate change will only get worse in the coming decades.
One issue this raises is how we attribute these harms related to climate change. From one perspective, climate change is global, overdetermined and multigenerational, so it seems problematic to assign blame to individuals. However, this creates the undesirable situation in which incredible harms can occur, but if enough people are involved, then no one is considered blameworthy. The only viable conclusion is that climate change has exposed a weakness in our current ethical frameworks; they are either broken or incomplete.
