Current tactics can't solve today's complex global crises. The
"bad boys of environmentalism" call for a bold and empowering new
vision Environmental insiders Michael Shellenberger and Ted
Nordhaus triggered a firestorm of controversy with their
self-published essay "The Death of Environmentalism," which argued
that environmentalism cannot deal with global warming and should
die so that a new politics can be born. Global warming is far more
complex than past pollution problems, and American values have
changed dramatically since the movement's greatest victories in the
1960s, but environmentalists keep fighting the same old battles.
Seeing a connection between the failures of environmentalism and
the failures of the entire left-leaning political agenda, the
authors point the way toward an aspirational politics that will
resonate with modern American values and be capable of tackling our
most pressing challenges. In this eagerly awaited follow-up to the
original essay, the authors give us an expansive and eloquent
manifesto for political change. What Americans really want, and
what could serve as the basis for a new politics, is a vision
capable of inspiring us to greatness. Making the case for
abandoning old categories (nature/market, left/right), the authors
articulate a pragmatism fit for our times that has already found
champions in such prominent figures as Hillary Clinton and Barack
Obama. This book will hit the same nerve as What's the Matter with
Kansas and Don't Think of an Elephant. But its analysis will
reshape American politics for decades to come.
