Health or Wealth Market forces, in my opinion, have always shaped the relationship between humans and their environment, and I have found it a daunting task to consider the history of such a long relationship and complicated. Indeed, market forces can be considered as everything that moves our means of consumption and our economy as a whole and, from this point of view, can be seen to have existed in some way since the dawn of time. So instead of starting at the beginning, I will instead focus on the relationship between man and nature from the beginning of what I consider to be the beginning of the end.

The principles of individualism, efficiency, profit maximization and consumerism can be found at the heart of many of the most harmful practices in the world today. Because they are the main pillars of the capitalist market, they are very pervasive and have become widespread and standard practices and ways of thinking. Individualism is a new development in our social structure and one that has left a very deep impression.
