Summary:
"A
new
vision for America's future is quickly gaining momentum. Facing a global emergency, a younger generation is spearheading a national conversation around a
Green
New
Deal
and setting the agenda for a
bold
political movement with the potential to revolutionize society. Millennials, the largest voting bloc in the country, are now leading on the issue of climate change. While the
Green
New
Deal
has become a lightning rod in the political sphere, there is a parallel movement emerging within the business community that
will
shake the very foundation of the global economy in coming years. Key sectors of the economy are fast-decoupling from
fossil
fuels in favor of ever cheaper solar and wind energies and the
new
business opportunities and employment that accompany them.
New
studies are sounding the alarm that trillions of dollars in stranded
fossil
fuel
assets could create a carbon bubble likely to burst by
2028
, causing the
collapse
of the
fossil
fuel
civilization
. The marketplace is speaking, and governments
will
need to adapt if they are to survive and prosper. In The
Green
New
Deal
,
New
York Times bestselling author and renowned
economic
theorist Jeremy Rifkin delivers the political narrative and
economic
plan
for the
Green
New
Deal
that we need at this critical moment in history. The concurrence of a stranded
fossil
fuel
assets bubble and a
green
political vision opens up the possibility of a massive shift to a post-carbon ecological era, in time to prevent a temperature rise that
will
tip us over the edge into runaway climate change. With twenty-five years of experience implementing
Green
New
Deal-style transitions for both the European Union and the People's Republic of China, Rifkin offers his vision for how to transform the global economy and
save
life
on
Earth
."--From publisher.
