I will be posing a question, insight, commentary on an ideally article every day.

The idea of artificial scarcity is fundamental to anarchist and anticapitalist thought. I often think of artificial scarcity in the popular conclusion that most, if not all, contemporary famines are manufactured by global and systemic inequality. Famines are an issue of distribution, not scarcity. However, as this article seems to poke at, the climate crisis and global capitalism are making scarcity increasingly materially relevant. The examples given are incredibly relevant and warrant further understanding from me. I am wondering what other examples of manufactured abundance may be coming into play as capitalism reacts to the climate crisis?  Materially and psychologically! Please Discuss, I promise I'll get better at these
