Greed to Green: Solving Climate Change and Remaking the Economy

Autor Charles Derber
en Limba Engleză Paperback – feb 2010
This book shows how we can solve the climate change crisis, which is the greatest threat humanity has faced. Charles Derber, a prominent sociologist and political economist, shows that global warming is a symptom of deep pathologies in global capitalism. In conversational and passionate writing, Derber shows that climate change is capitalism's time bomb, certain to explode unless we rapidly transform our economy and create a new green American Dream Derber shows there is hope in the financial meltdown and Great Recession we are now suffering. The economic crisis has raised deep questions about Wall Street and the US capitalist model. Derber systematically explores the causal links between capitalism and climate change, a taboo subject in the U.S, and opens up new thinking to solve both the economic and climate crises.

Recenzii

'Charles Derber is one of our most astute and eloquent social critics... His political analysis is persuasive and is enlivened by graceful prose.' -- Howard Zinn Charles Derber's urgent call to action on climate change connects to realistically upbeat ways to help resolve our energy, peace, and employment challenges. To read this book is to react with personal and social action. -- Ralph Nader As this wonderfully inspiring book makes clear, the failure of the United States to achieve energy independence, eliminate potential oil wars. ... Greed to Green brings home the fact that a people's movement to green the economy depends on creating a political system which subordinates the interests of big business to those of its citizens. -- Ross Gelbspan, Pulitzer Prize winner and author of The Heat Is On and Boiling Point Derber proposes a broad greening of our economy, politics and society, ingeniously relying on short term windows to enact long term changes. -- Juliet Schor, Professor of Sociology, Boston College, and author of Plenitude: The New Economics of True Wealth There's no way to solve climate change without also shifting, in profound ways, our idea of what constitutes success and growth and progress. This is the right book at the right-and crucial-moment. -- Bill McKibben
