Climate Crisis and the Global Green New Deal: The Political Economy of Saving the Planet

This book outlines clear goals for saving the planet as well as a more equitable world order and the means of achieving these ends. I highly recommend that it be required reading by ordinary US citizens, including high school and college students but especially our law makers. Without a greater understanding of the stakes and the will to commit to keeping the planet habitable, we are doomed!

This book is an essential primer to possibilities that need to be taken soon to combat climate change in an economically sustainable manner. Chomsky tackles the general economic and social problems with his signature dry humour and radical posturing. Polin effectively takes on the specific nuts and bolts with succinct detail. Excellent!

Chomsky and Pollin have created a succinct handbook for understanding the broad range of issues inherent in the climate crisis. Both the issues inherent in this crisis as well as the solutions are complex. However, the authorsbring the best of current analyses to both the nature of and the solutions to this economic and social dilemma

This is an important book that provides an incisive look at the need for much more widespread acknowledgement and action to combat the very real changes going on with our planet.If not for yourselves, people need to think about their kids and grandkids. If you want to leave them something, leave them an inhabitable planet.

Clearly spells out a long term plan for a world that will need to deal with climate change. If you have not read a lot of Chomsky, it would be a good first book; an easy read, compared to other works.

Excelente. Muestra el mapa de la realidad orientando la acción de defensa del planeta.Ofrece las fuentes, de tal manera que si alguien quiere profundizar en los temas puede hacerlo.

While it was full of unfamiliar information, most was understandable and the message to think pessimistically, but act optimistically was very valuable and also the particulars of what that specifically looks like.

Mixed in with some interesting ideas for policies to address climate change are Chomsky’s more radical ideas to further his socialist ideals. His socialist agenda detracts from the more substantive discussion around addressing climate change specifically

Chomsky wrote, umm, a third of it? Its a short book of the essential info. And the solution that will not be applied by our "leaders"

Gran libro, vale mucho la pena leerlo. El texto es principalmente de Robert Pollin, pero con muchas intervenciones del inigualable Noam Chomsky.Está escrito con un formato de entrevista, pero las preguntas son como subtemas del capítulo. Su lectura es ágil, amena, entretenida y sobre todo, ilustrativa.

Ja was soll ich sagen. Klimawandel ist hart, Geld hilft, Menschen müssen mehr Bock drauf bekommen.Wir können bombastelische Arbeitsplätze beim Planentenretten erschaffen.Unschlagbar!!

I first came across Chomsky some forty years ago when some of his work was included in the psychology course of my B.Ed at London university. I admired his work then, and even more so now. He has earned the respect of all to, at the very least, listen to his views with an open mind. Together Pollin and Chomsky offer a realistic solution to the climate crisis, as well as describing the reality of global catastrophic problems being caused by human beings.

Brilliant as always, professor Chomsky depicts a grim scenario, but not without hope.
