This pamphlet is part of the series, Moving Beyond Capitalism—Now!

The first three parts appear here, and one additional part by Howard Waitzkin will follow. These four parts show:

• Capitalist-oriented industrial agriculture and its destruction of habitat are the upstream causes that led to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as other past and future pandemics of devastating, emerging viral pathogens.
• COVID-19 may trigger a collapse of the global capitalist system but it is not the cause.
• Health-care and public-health systems organized around capitalist principles don’t do well in pandemics, compared to those not organized around capitalist principles.
• The current economic collapse, triggered by a pandemic, opens a door for revolutionary transformation.

Several chapters by other authors will appear soon.
