In Liquid Asset, Barton H. Thompson, Jr. examines the growing position of the private sector in the "business of water." Thompson seeks to understand the private sector's involvement in meeting the water needs of both humans and the environment, looks at the potential risks that growing private involvement poses to the public interest in water, and considers the obstacles that private organizations face in trying to participate in a traditionally governmental sector.

This audiobook narrated by Davis Brooks reveals how the subtle but significant consequences of a hotter planet have already begun—from lower test scores to higher crime rates—and how we might tackle them today.

Jam Tomorrow? recasts economics as a question of the balance between our needs and desires in the present and those of the future. This makes our changing perception of time a kind of invisible ink that links the micro to the macro, the past to the future, and that offers a new and challenging way of understanding the relationship between value, price, money and credit.

This Isn’t Fine is a surprisingly funny and accessible ride through a world on the brink of collapse—and what we can do to survive it. Diving headfirst into finance and energy, culture and ecology, Taylor Ahlstrom transforms the complex systems and histories that underpin our society into relatable narratives, all while mythbusting popular delusions on everything from free-market capitalism to electric cars.

Une demande en forte croissance La demande d'énergie devrait croître de 60% d'ici à 2030 sous l'effet conjugué de la croissance de la population mondiale et de la croissance de la consommation énergétique par habitant. Or c'est précisément la consommation énergétique, largement dominée par les énergies fossiles, pétrole notamment, qui produit le gaz carbonique qui détériore notre environnement. Concilier croissance économique et protection de l'environnement est donc un enjeu majeur des prochaines décennies.

In his international bestseller, Kohei Saito argues that while unfettered capitalism is often blamed for inequality and climate change, subsequent calls for “sustainable growth” and a “Green New Deal” are a dangerous compromise. Instead, Saito advocates for degrowth and deceleration, which he conceives as the slowing of economic activity through the democratic reform of labor and production. In practical terms, he argues for the following:

In this searing and insightful critique, Adrienne Buller examines the fatal biases that have shaped the response of our governing institutions to climate and environmental breakdown, and asks: are the ‘solutions’ being proposed really solutions? Tracing the intricate connections between financial power, economic injustice and ecological crisis, she exposes the myopic economism and market-centric thinking presently undermining a future where all life can flourish.

Our current path leads to a dead end—but it’s not too late to change course. The first step toward reducing your carbon footprint starts here.

The Paris Accords, widely accepted as the key to solving today's climate crisis, set a goal of zero net carbon emissions by 2050. But that's not good enough. The only way to guarantee a livable future is climate restoration, which can reduce greenhouse gases to historic levels. Scientist and entrepreneur Peter Fiekowsky explains the technology and maps a practical path that will let humankind survive and thrive.

Ohne Kapitalismus in die Zukunft. Das Wirtschaftswachstum der Moderne versprach uns ein Leben im Wohlstand. Jedoch wird durch die Umweltkrise klar, dass es gerade das Wirtschaftswachstum ist, das die Grundlagen des menschlichen Wohlstands untergräbt. Gleichzeitig hält uns der Glaube, dass der Erfolg im Kampf gegen den Klimawandel davon abhängt, wie viel jeder Einzelne von uns tut, davon ab, einen notwendigen Systemsturz einzuleiten. In diesem Hörbuch analysiert der japanische Philosoph Kohei Saito die Verflechtung von Kapital, Natur und Gesellschaft im Anthropozän.

Five oceans—the Atlantic, the Pacific, the Indian, the Arctic, and the Southern—cover approximately 70 percent of the earth. Yet we know little about what lies beneath them. By the early 2020s, less than twenty-five percent of the ocean’s floor has been charted, most close to shorelines, and over three quarters of the ocean lies in in what is called the Deep Sea, depths below a thousand meters.

いまそこに迫る世界食糧危機、そして最初に飢えるのは日本、国民の６割が餓死するという衝撃の予測……アメリカも中国も助けてくれない。

In The Progress Illusion, Jon D. Erickson charts the rise of the economic worldview and its infiltration into our daily lives as a theory of everything. Drawing on his own experience as a young economist inoculated in the 1980s era of "greed is good," Erickson shows how pseudoscience came to dominate economic thought. He pokes holes in the conventional wisdom of neo-classical economics, illustrating how flawed theories about financial decision-making and maximizing efficiency ignore human psychology and morality.

Our construction process is stuck in the Flintstones, yet we manufacture phones, computers, and electric cars like spaceships. This needs to change so humanity can continue to thrive in the next century. We need to completely eliminate the current construction process and rebuild it from the ground up. It took 20 years of research working in construction, entertainment, and design to invent a quickly scalable solution to begin solving our housing problems.

Questo è un libro sul surriscaldamento globale, sulla devastazione degli ecosistemi, sull’estinzione di massa ma non sull’Apocalisse. È, anzi, un libro sulla speranza. Possiamo ancora salvare il mondo, possiamo ancora cambiare il nostro destino, possiamo ancora sopravvivere all’antropocene. Dobbiamo però ripensare completamente il nostro modo di produrre e di consumare, abbandonando il paradigma della crescita economica infinita e dell’accumulazione, superando lo sfruttamento selvaggio delle risorse naturali.

Economic growth is wrecking the planet. It's the engine driving climate change, pollution, and the shrinking of natural spaces. To save the environment, will we have to shrink the economy? Might this lead to a better society, helping us break free from an obsession with material wealth that only benefits the few? Alessio Terzi takes these questions as a starting point for a journey into the socioeconomic, evolutionary, and cultural origins of our need for growth.
