Robert Pollin, Ph.D., Distinguished Professor of Economics; Co-Director of the Political Economy Research Institute, University of Massachusetts-Amherst

With co-author Noam Chomsky, Robert Pollin has produced a very readable and informative book on the relationship between capitalism --especially neoliberalism-- and our climate crisis. And the only viable solution to our crisis, as the authors make clear, is a Global Green New Deal.

The 2020 book, Climate Crisis and The Global Green New Deal, by Noam Chomsky and Robert Pollin is recognized as a major source of information about the climate change crisis and also the best solution, which involves science, politics and economics: "A survival manual for civilization" as Daniel Ellsberg called it.
