A review by webb_beb
Climate Crisis and the Global Green New Deal: The Political Economy of Saving the Planet by Noam Chomsky, Robert Pollin
challenging
informative
fast-paced
I think that overall this was a great introduction to the issues of climate crisis, how capitalism is involved in/responsible for the climate crisis, and how the GND would tackle the crisis.
Some of it to me felt a little basic, but I did work in climate-focused work for several years so I guess I’m not exactly the least informed demographic .
I do wish that maybe the authors had given more detail on how the development of a GND will come about and especially how this “mass movement” can/should organize, although I suppose that’s asking for a lot.
I thought their brief discussion of ecosocialism was a little odd, but maybe I am misunderstanding something…
Still would recommend if you’re newer to some climate concepts especially re GND and economics!
