Climate Crisis and the Global Green New Deal: The Political Economy of Saving the Planet by Noam Chomsky, Robert Pollin

3.0

Some very useful facts and action points for tackling the climate crisis. But some parts also seemed very vague and generic - saying “the time is now” over and over isn’t the kind of insight I was hoping for. The comparisons with successful movements and labour union mobilisation in the past were interesting; and it was great to read about a plan that puts workers’ rights and needs front and centre to offer a path forward that ensures fossil fuel job loss is addressed. However, could have done with more actionable points on that.

Tl;dr - a dense, sometimes too high level read that still makes valuable points about the economic approach to tackling the climate crisis.
