Climate Crisis and the Global Green New Deal: The Political Economy of Saving the Planet
by Noam Chomsky, Robert Pollin
reflective
This was great!
Ngl, I read this because I’d just finished a neoliberal version of ‘green new deal’ policy in What If We Get It Right? edited by Ayana Elizabeth Johnson…
And I was having a neoliberalism-induced Menty B about it 😆 And Noam Chomsky is the best medicine for every neoliberalism-induced breakdown, even climate change themed ones.
A delightfully authentic New Deal-style Green New Deal policy proposal, focused on public ownership of green tech and infrastructure. It was easy to read (interview-style) and concise. Plus, I think they’re just… right. Especially for an American context (you guys are never going to be socialists and I’ve accepted that). And any other “solutions” have just ceded waayy too much ground to billionaires.
Could’ve been more sassy. Chomsky has mellowed out too much, for me. He is 96 years old, though.
