Well I'm going to recommend not checking that book out because it is of exceedingly low quality and not worth your time. Unless you're looking for something to reaffirm your existing leftist biases and dogma and not make you think uncomfortable thoughts, then it's pretty good.
- groby_b 8y agoThat's somewhat ad hominem. (Well, ad librem. Tomatoe, tomatoh) I'm not asking for a detailed critique, but what, in your opinion, is a good book discussing the intersection between capitalism and climate change?

- angry_octet 8y agoYeah, reading books written by people whose politics you disagree with is bad! While many will disagree with the take that capitalism & prosperity is incompatible with counteracting climate change, she does identify some real problems with cap & trade schemes. It is inconvenient that meeting global emissions targets will require significant lifestyle change in developed countries. The alternative to lifestyle change is massive ecological damage. Therefore, this is what will happen, as we're not about to give up pickup trucks and rapid growth just because someone will have to pay big interest on it later. So the real deficiency of the book is the idea that we will somehow have a revolution of equality. The style is also a bit over rich. There is a failure to even mention, let alone examine, renewable energy growth.
