"You will have understood that to trust in capitalism as it presents itself today, as the “best friend of the earth,” as “green,” con- cerned about protection and sustainability, would be to commit the same kind of error as the frog in the fable, who agrees to carry a scorpion on his back across the river. If the scorpion stung him, wouldn’t they both drown? And yet the scorpion stings him, right in the middle of the river. With his last breath the frog murmured “why?” to which the scorpion, just before sinking, responded “it’s in my nature, I couldn’t help doing it.” It is in the nature of capitalism to exploit opportunities: it cannot help doing it."

Capitalism must be understood instead as a mode of functioning, a machine, which fabricates its own necessity, its own actors, in every conjuncture, and destroys those who haven’t been able to saddle up for the new opportunities."
