Description
What is the Green New Deal and How Can We afford it?
The Case for the Green New Deal succinctly explains what the GND is, where the idea came from, why it's necessary, and how to make it happen. As an economist and expert in monetary theory, Pettifor is uniquely well placed to describe how the GND can be funded.
Demanding drastic, even impossible change as...Pettifor [does] may just be a way to ensure that something is done.
This awareness-raising contribution to an important debate should expand our understanding of what's possible and encourage us to take action
The Case for the Green New Deal...serves to inform and inspire a politics of alternatives to the otherwise forthcoming destruction of our planet.
Crucially, Pettifor debunks the idea that we could not afford to fund [a Green New Deal], arguing that the state is capable of financing a zero-emissions programme if constraints are put on moving capital.
