Bøker av Aaron Saad

"The galloping climate crisis has put the world on high alert. For those living in the high-consuming, high-polluting swaths of the world, we know that something about our society, our politics, our economy--our very way of life--must change. But the quality and character of those necessary changes are a source of seemingly intractable dispute. Does the answer lie in the development of new technologies or the supposed wisdom of a self-correcting market? Or does it lie in the radical reorganization of society, from wealth redistribution to ideas about what the "good life" could look like? How we think about the world works affects how we think about climate change and what we think can and should be done about it. In this original and accessible book, Saad presents an erudite survey of political perspectives and ethical arguments about how we should respond to the climate crisis. By arranging these approaches into two broad categories of "system preserving" and "system changing frameworks", Saad takes the reader on a journey through competing ideas about how we can think about and address our collective responsibility to a livable global future."--
