Current tactics can't solve today's complex global crises. The "bad
boys of environmentalism" call for a bold and empowering new vision
Environmental insiders Michael Shellenberger and Ted Nordhaus
triggered a firestorm of controversy with their self-published
essay "The Death of Environmentalism," which argued that
environmentalism cannot deal with global warming and should die so
that a new politics can be born. Global warming is far more complex
than past pollution problems, and American values have changed
dramatically since the movement's greatest victories in the 1960s,
but environmentalists keep fighting the same old battles. Seeing a
connection between the failures of environmentalism and the
failures of the entire left-leaning political agenda, the authors
point the way toward an aspirational politics that will resonate
with modern American values and be capable of tackling our most
pressing challenges. In this eagerly awaited follow-up to the
original essay, the authors give us an expansive and eloquent
manifesto for political change. What Americans really want, and
what could serve as the basis for a new politics, is a vision
capable of inspiring us to greatness. Making the case for
abandoning old categories (nature/market, left/right), the authors
articulate a pragmatism fit for our times that has already found
champions in such prominent figures as Hillary Clinton and Barack
Obama. This book will hit the same nerve as What's the Matter with
Kansas and Don't Think of an Elephant. But its analysis will
reshape American politics for decades to come.
