“It should be impossible to talk about climate and ecological crisis without talking about capitalism.”
Adrienne Buller is the Founder and Editor and Host of The BREAK—DOWN, a bold climate‑power media platform launched in partnership with Common Wealth. Her mission: expose how capitalism shapes ecological crisis and build democratic alternatives that transcend market logic.
Before this, Buller was Director of Research at Common Wealth, where she led pioneering investigations into asset‑manager capitalism, finance, and climate governance. She’s the author of The Value of a Whale: On the Illusions of Green Capitalism (winner of the Eric Zencey Prize in 2024) and co-author of Owning the Future: Power and Property in an Age of Crisis earthbound. In her writing, she dismantles the myth that market‑based “green” solutions can address the climate emergency without disrupting the power structures that created it
“Buller’s book will play an important role in a lineage of anti-capitalist green thought and theory, providing the evidence against green capitalism for philosophers, political scientists, and ecologists to come” — The Trouble
