It has become a watchword in the current era of global climate crisis. But what - and for whom - is the Green New Deal? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In this concise and urgent book, Max Ajl provides an overview of the various mainstream Green New Deals. Critically engaging with their proponents, ideological underpinnings and limitations, he goes on to sketch out a radical alternative: a 'People's Green New Deal' committed to decommodification, working-class power, anti-imperialism and agro-ecology. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Ajl diagnoses the roots of the current socio-ecological crisis as emerging from a world-system dominated by the logics of capitalism and imperialism. Resolving this crisis, he argues, requires nothing less than an infrastructural and agricultural transformation in the Global North, and the industrial convergence between North and South. As the climate crisis deepens and the literature on the subject grows, A People's Green New Deal contributes a distinctive perspective to the debate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pluto Press (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/20\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780745341750\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 0.70d","brand":"Max Ajl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42253637648565,"sku":"9780745341750","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_bd4947e8-0e94-4eb8-b3a1-82563399a9c3.jpg?v=1656388204","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/a-peoples-green-new-deal-9780745341750","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
