On one hand, we cannot possibly transition off fossil fuels without the financial might and entrepreneurial talent market forces alone can unlock. On the other, without radical changes to the way markets operate, capitalism will take us right off the climate cliff.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRejecting the old Left\/Right ideologies, Rand develops a more pragmatic view capable of delivering practical solutions to this critical problem. A renewed capitalism harnessed to the task is the only way we might replace fossil fuels fast enough to mitigate severe climate risk. If we leave our dogma at the door, Rand argues, we might just build an economy that survives the century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tom Rand\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1770415238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781770415232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e ECW Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/03\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/23\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/13\/2019 pg. 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2020 pg. 12","brand":"Tom Rand","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44051114524927,"sku":"9781770415232","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2dde9874-6d82-401e-8ed6-c18a31b08428.jpg?v=1685011177","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-case-for-climate-capitalism-tom-rand-9781770415232","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
