Equinox and Capitalism

A though Experiment for those who might consider human symbols as the driving force of human life.

Imagine that as of March 21st, instead of the days lengthening and spring and then summer coming, the earth for some reason flopped over and reversed it's orientation and the days started getting shorter again?  And we were to get a second winter, followed by the seasons resuming normal behavior.

Ah yes, we would face mass starvation as instead of all the worlds farmers planting and harvesting we would have a second winter.  Mass livestock die off with no grains, mass collapse of all the food industries with no resupply of all the natural grown inputs to the food industry and civilization would probably collapse  All merely from one skip in the seasonal progression of the earth and suns dance in the Heavans.

This thought experiment is to get the thought process going.  What are we really dependent on?

What is our real source of Capital? 

If the sun did not shine then how much money would it take to re-finance a new one?
