Richard Smith argues China's economy is driven by extra-economic nationalist-industrialist imperatives which are more powerful than the maximization of profit. Yet both Western capitalism and China's 'communist-capitalism' are racing each other to apocalypse. He contends that nothing short of drastic industrial shutdowns and retrenchments, especially in China and the US, will suffice to slash emissions enough to save the planet - but implementing such policies without precipitating economic collapse will require a transition to ecosocialism.
This book brings together environmental science, political science, economics and sociology in a uniquely comprehensive analysis that will change the debate from market meliorism to the need for radical system change.
