Baer Publisher: AltaMira Press Print ISBN: 9780759121324, 075912132X eText ISBN: 9780759121348, 0759121346 Pages: 366 Format: PDF Available from $ 75.00 USD SKU 9780759121348R120 Many progressive scholars, particularly in the social sciences, have increasingly come to acknowledge that anthropogenic climate change constitutes yet another contradiction of global capitalism. This book constitutes an effort to develop a critical social science of climate change, one that posits its roots in global capitalism with its emphasis on profit-making, a treadmill of production and consumption, heavy reliance on fossil fuels, and commitment to ongoing economic expansion. It explores the systemic changes necessary to create a more socially just and sustainable world system that would possibly start to move humanity toward a safer climate and discusses the role of a burgeoning climate movement in this effort.
