	Extractivism functions in a capitalistic system, which relies on extracting natural resources, sourcing commodities and selling it to produce consumer products. Societies are organized and function to consume at unnecessary levels, leaving environmental waste behind. It is embedded in many systems and needs capital accumulation, pressuring, constraining, the centralization of diverse-sector source development and monopolization. It is a self-reinforcing concept. <ref>Christopher W. Chagnon, Francesco Durante, Barry K. Gills, Sophia E. Hagolani-Albov, Saana Hokkanen, Sohvi M. J.

			Extractivism functions in a capitalistic system, which relies on extracting natural resources, sourcing commodities and selling it to produce consumer products. Societies are organized and function to consume at unnecessary levels, leaving environmental waste behind. It is embedded in many systems and needs capital accumulation, pressuring, constraining, the centralization of diverse-sector source development and monopolization. It is a self-reinforcing concept. <ref>Christopher W. Chagnon, Francesco Durante, Barry K. Gills, Sophia E. Hagolani-Albov, Saana Hokkanen, Sohvi M. J.
