Abstract

According to unified theory, human selfish behavior has generated the Anthropocene age. Are people in the capitalist system becoming more concerned with the fate of human society; that is, are they becoming more altruists and less egotists in their behavior in the economic growth process? Is the risk of collapse of human society a force for changes in human behavior? This chapter seeks to answer these questions.
