Inside the Green Economy : Promises and Pitfalls

Our general prosperity is in danger. The world economy faces severe problems, and environmental and climate crises make them worse. The "Green Economy" offers a new model, based primarily on large-scale technological solutions. It's a vision of phasing out fossil fuels in an economy assumed to become greener via technology and efficiency, and it's a comfortable, optimistic vision. This book puts the Green Economy to the test, discusses its promises, describing actual consequences and analyzing its blind spots.
