What is the Green New Deal and How Can We afford it?

Description

In 2008, the first Green New Deal was devised by Ann Pettifor and a group of English economists and thinkers, but it was ignored amidst the tumult of the financial crash. A decade later, the idea was revived among democratic socialists in the US, spearheaded by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The Green New Deal demands a radical and urgent reversal of the current state of the global economy: including total de-carbonisation and a commitment to fairness and social justice.

Critics on all sides have been quick to claim that the GND is a pipe dream that could never be implemented and would cost the Earth. However, Ann Pettifor illustrates that we need to rethink the function of money and how it works within the global system. How can we bail out the banks but not the planet? We must stop thinking about the imperative of economic growth—nothing grows forever. The programme will be a long-term project, but it needs to start immediately.

The book is highlighted as an important, inspiring contribution to discussions on political alternatives to environmental destruction, encouraging action and expanding possibilities.
