الثمن خاطئ: لماذا لن ينقذ النظام الرأسمالي الكوكب؟

Traditional theories of the causes of climate breakdown will not stand up to this book. Readers will come away wiser.” -Andreas Malm, author of How to Blow Up a Pipeline? Why the market won't solve the climate crisis What if our understanding of capitalism and climate were reversed? What if the problem is not that the cost of switching to renewable energy is high, but that it is not economically feasible to save the planet? This is what Brett Christophers claims. The global economy is moving very slowly towards sustainability because the return on green investment is very low. يتفق معظم الباحثين اليوم على أن مفتاح الحد من تغير المناخ هو إنتاج الكهرباء النظيفة وتزويد كل ما يمكن بالكهرباء. The main economic hurdle in this project appears to have been removed. But while solar and wind prices have fallen, the golden age of renewable energy has not yet been achieved. The problem is that investment is driven by profit, not price, and that operating solar and wind farms remains a marginal activity, dependent everywhere on government financial support. We cannot expect markets and the private sector to solve the climate crisis if the profits that make up their livelihood are unattractive. But there is an alternative to providing alternative green profits through subsidies: taking energy out of the hands of the private sector. The Price is Wrong is an essential intervention, as broadly politically influential as it is factually illuminating.
