But a new denialism is taking root in the halls of power, shaped by decades of neoliberal policies and centuries of anti-democratic thinking. Since the 1980s, Democrats and Republicans have each granted enormous concessions to industries hell bent on maintaining business as usual. What's worse, policymakers have given oil and gas executives a seat at the table designing policies that should euthanize their business model.\u003cp\u003eThis approach, journalist Kate Aronoff makes clear, will only drive the planet further into emergency. Drawing on years of reporting, Aronoff lays out an alternative vision, detailing how democratic majorities can curb polluters' power; create millions of well-paid, union jobs; enact climate reparations; and transform the economy into a more leisurely and sustainable one. Our future will require a radical reimagining of politics--with the world at stake.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bold Type Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/20\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781568589473\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432","brand":"Kate Aronoff","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39521941094581,"sku":"9781568589473","price":25.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_8cca8b00-133e-4c6a-ab9b-88815391de5c.jpg?v=1616507458","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/overheated-how-capitalism-broke-the-planet-and-how-we-fight-back-9781568589473","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
