Description
The Price is Wrong: Why Capitalism Won't Save the Planet by Brett Christophers is a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between capitalism and climate change. The author argues that the global economy's slow transition to sustainability is hindered by the low profitability of green investments.
Christophers contends that the problem lies not in the cost of renewable energy, but in the fact that investment is driven by profit, not price. He suggests that the private sector cannot be relied upon to solve the climate crisis as long as the profits that drive it remain unappealing.
This book offers a fresh perspective on the climate crisis, one that challenges conventional wisdom and offers a potential solution. With its combination of political insight and factual illumination, The Price is Wrong is a compelling read for anyone looking to understand the complex issues at the heart of our planet's future.
