About this product
Product Information
A radical manifesto for how to deal with environmental breakdown In the age of environmental breakdown, breakdown, the political status quo has no answer to the devastating and inequitably distributed consequences of the climate emergency. We urgently need an alternative to bring about the rapid transformation of our social and economic systems. As we rebuild our lives in the wake of Covid-19 and face the challenges of ecological disaster, how can the left win a world fit for life? Planet on Fire is an urgent manifesto for a fundamental reimagining of the global economy. It offers a clear and practical road map for a future that is democratic and sustainable by design. Laurie Laybourn-Langton and Mathew Lawrence argue that it is not enough merely to spend our way out of the crisis; we must also rapidly reshape the economy to create a new way of life that can foster a healthy and flourishing environment for all. Planet on Fire offers a detailed and achievable manifesto for a new politics capable of tackling environmental breakdown.

Reviews
"A clear, powerful vision. Don't miss this book." --Jason Hickel, author of Less Is More "A transformative Green New Deal is more urgent than ever, charting a course beyond fossil fuel capitalism and eco-apartheid. This vital contribution shows how we get there and will be a political guide for the times ahead." --Kate Aronoff, author of Overheated "Offers blueprints and rally points for energies, as well as chronicling useful histories for a decarbonized future. It is a handbook for the fights to come." --Quinn Slobodian, author of Globalists "This clear and incisive book shows how climate breakdown is intimately linked to all the overlapping crises humanity faces and maps a route to an equal and sustainable world." --Grace Blakeley, author of The Corona Crash "For all who would build tomorrow not merely suffer it; for all who would heal the rifts that threaten us; for all who know that we must now turn our backs once and for all on domination, oppression, and exploitation: this book is a manifesto and a call to arms. Please read it." --John Ashton, Grantham Institute for Climate Change, Imperial College "A realistic, achievable and hopeful alternative to the predominant narrative of doom which typically surrounds discussions of environmental destruction." --Carola Rackete, Captain of Sea-Watch 3 "Eloquent, clear-sighted and erudite, Planet on Fire is an important analysis of the interlocking political and economic forces driving us towards ecological catastrophe, and a credible route-map towards an alternative." --Will Davies, author of Nervous States "We now face an environmental crisis. This book sets out the scale of the emergency as well as marks out the route to a better society. It is an essential read." --John McDonnell, Labour MP "Eloquent, clear-sighted and erudite, Planet On Fire is an important analysis of the interlocking political and economic forces driving us towards ecological catastrophe, and a credible route-map towards an alternative." --Will Davies "The authors' vision of the path to climate justice is an antidote to disaster politics in so many ways, not least because it is both fair and unexpectedly luxurious. Each page is absolutely brimming with ideas as they meticulously take us through every important sector of the economy and reveal carefully thought through recommendations for reform. By focusing on power and who wields it they correctly identify the levers for change and who must now be empowered to push them." --Michelle Meagher, author of Competition is Killing Us, "We now face an environmental crisis that has to be confronted. This book sets out the scale of the emergency as well as marks out the route to a better society. This is an essential read." --John McDonnell, MP "For all who would build tomorrow not merely suffer it; for all who would heal the rifts that threaten us today between the generations and among the peoples; for all who know that human beings and human societies alike stand always within Nature never above it; for all who know that we must now turn our backs once and for all on domination, oppression, and exploitation, of Nature and of each other: this book is a manifesto and a call to arms. Please read it." --John Ashton, UK climate change envoy 2006-12 "This book lays bare how capitalism led to the age of environmental breakdown and what this will mean for human societies. Most importantly, it focuses on explaining what an eco-socialist future would look like and that this future is a realistic, achievable and hopeful alternative to the predominant narrative of doom which typically surrounds discussions of environmental destruction." --Carola Rackete, activist and author of It's Time to Act "Eloquent, clear-sighted and erudite, Planet On Fire is an important analysis of the interlocking political and economic forces driving us towards ecological catastrophe, and a credible route-map towards an alternative." --Will Davies "This clear and incisive book starts from the immensely important insight that we cannot understand climate breakdown outside of the capitalist social relations that produced it. Planet on Fire reminds us that climate breakdown is intimately linked to all the overlapping crises humanity faces--from the rise of the far right, to growing socioeconomic inequality, to the COVID-19 pandemic--and that ecosocialism is the only route to an equal and sustainable world." --Grace Blakeley "'Capitalism would create a desert and call it profit.' Halfway through Planet on Fire , Mathew Lawrence and Laurie Laybourn-Langton drop this devastating judgement--but they don't stop at doom. Instead they offer blueprints, rally-points for energies, and chronicles of useful pasts for a decarbonized future. In the end, the climate crisis, they remind us, is not about individual morality or scientific authority but power and politics. This is a handbook for the fights to come." --Quinn Slobodian "A clear, powerful vision for ecosocialist transition. Don't miss this book." --Jason Hickel "Trump may have left, but Trumpism is here to stay. In response, a transformative Green New Deal is more urgent than ever, charting a course beyond fossil fuel capitalism and deepening eco-apartheid and inequality. This vital contribution is a roadmap for how we get there and a political guide for the times ahead." --Kate Aronoff "The authors' vision of the path to climate justice is an antidote to disaster politics in so many ways, not least because it is both fair and unexpectedly luxurious. Each page is absolutely brimming with ideas as they meticulously take us through every important sector of the economy and reveal carefully thought through recommendations for reform. By focusing on power and who wields it they correctly identify the levers for change and who must now be empowered to push them." --Michelle Meagher, author of Competition is Killing Us, "A clear, powerful vision. Don't miss this book." --Jason Hickel, author of Less Is More "A transformative Green New Deal is more urgent than ever, charting a course beyond fossil fuel capitalism and eco-apartheid.

By focusing on power and who wields it they correctly identify the levers for change and who must now be empowered to push them." --Michelle Meagher, author of Competition is Killing Us "Reading Planet on Fire feels like traversing a humming, interdependent ecosystem of ideas, porous to the post-crash movements and thinkers shaping today's progressive environmentalism ... Starkly realistic whilst unflinchingly radical, Planet on Fire is a guidebook of hope for this crucial decade." -- Flora Parkin, LSE International Development "A practical starting point for reworking power structures that are dependent on extraction and initiating the new, society-oriented systems ... essential reading." -- Martha Dillon, It's Freezing in LA! "Offers an urgent alternative." -- George Eaton, New Statesman "Framing the situation in terms of the global inequality that fuels extractive global capitalism, and its roots in colonialism, Lawrence and Layborne-Langton put this power imbalance at the heart of their analysis. It enables them to offer some worthwhile answers for how we might solve our interconnected crises." -- Ann Pettifor, Guardian

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
