Description
Carbon is a critical challenge to our world's survival. Excessive carbon levels threaten life as we know it, with rising sea levels, droughts, and floods sounding the alarm on a future now upon us.
This incisive book by Kate Ervine unravels the complex political economy of carbon, tracing its role in industrial capitalism and global inequality. From the origins of fossil fuels to their impact on democracy and social justice, Ervine sheds light on emerging struggles to decarbonize our societies.
