Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on climate change as a social issue, the book explores the conflict between capitalist development and the Earth's physical limits. It analyzes how these limits have been managed historically and connects the dots between consumption patterns, energy systems, and climate change during the eras of Fordism and finance-driven capitalism. Through this lens, it critiques the sustainability of current economic practices and highlights the need for systemic change.
