Capitalism Won't Save the Planet
Radical political solutions to the climate crisis from Andreas Malm, Brett Christophers, Noam Chomsky and more.
In the face of climate disaster and mass extinction, the only ‘solutions’ on offer – from our world leaders and corporations – are catastrophic geoengineering schemes, privatized conservation, and ‘net-zero targets’ that will do little to reverse the damage. These mainstream approaches assume that hyper-consumerism in the Global North can continue unabated.
These books propose radical climate solutions rooted in radical political change, including Andreas Malm's new book with Wim Carton Overshoot: How the World Surrendered to Climate Breakdown.
