Conclusions: The main differences between the aforementioned schools are related to the beginning of the Anthropocene and the Capitalocene, which for the first would refer to the beginning of capitalism, while for the second it would refer to the Industrial Revolution, or the Great Acceleration; the relevance of the nature-society dichotomy has also been debated. It is also possible to identify several fundamental agreements on the central role of capital accumulation, the responsibility of capitalists in the process of global change, and the systemic character of the contemporary crisis of capitalism.
