Capitalism vs. Marxism

Dresner says in the beginning that we must share our resources with one another so that in the future there will be enough to go around. Marxism basically makes it so that everyone is sharing the same resources. Marxism allows for us to maintain and have enough resources for everyone. Although there will be enough resources, Marxism does not allow for growth because it is more controlled. In Capitalism on the other hand, you receive more room for growth because there are less restrictions. The least control the government has, the more room there is for growth. Although Dresner states that sustainability is not losing capital and both of these do "sustain" an economy, I believe that capitalism is better for the future than Marxism.

John Muir Contribution to the Enviromenr

John Muir spent part of his life admiring and trying to preserve nature. He spent the other half commercializing and trying to fight for more efficient utilization. He believed that although most americans have a high appreciation for nature, not many will actually fight to preserve it. Throughout Muir's life he was plagued with many chronic illnesses, but still denied the fact that anything in nature was at all dangerous or harmful. Overall, John Muir was an American naturalist, and early advocate of preservation of wilderness in the United States.
