'A thought provoking and documented examination of solutions to
social and economic inequality, ecological tipping points, and the
threat of climate catastrophe, focusing on renewable energy
systems, agroecology, and social organization. The authors reject a
business as usual approach, and argue that the revolution has
already begun.'Climate & CapitalismThis book provides a thought
provoking outline of the solutions already in hand to the
challenges now facing humanity with respect to prevalent gross
social and economic inequalities, ecological thresholds and tipping
points, and the ever-looming threat of climate catastrophe. The
authors find these solutions in the arenas of renewable energy
systems, agroecological methods, and reimagined social
organization. Clarity is brought to the political economic
obstacles standing in the way as well as the false solutions and
alleged barriers that pervade the discourse thereby delaying and
obstructing progress to the solutions advanced.The authors provoke
readers to face up to these challenges by demonstrating how people,
all over the world, have already begun this effort through
collective action ranging from the local to the global community.
Drawing on their own and many other scholar's research, they reject
a reliance on the 'business as usual' approach trusting the
capitalist market and existing global institutions, and provide an
accessible popular account with thoroughly footnoted endnotes that
contain technical details and references to the scientific
literature.The Earth is Not for Sale informs its readers and
provides well-documented solutions in a bid to inspire readers to
think critically, and potentially become more active in
society.Related Link(s)
