We need to start reversing 40 years of neoliberalism with economic planning and public ownership
Incoming U.S. President Donald Trump has taken to musing publicly about using “economic force” to annex Canada. The threat is so brazen that many are treating it as a joke, unable to accept that a United States President could hold such an economically existential threat over our heads.
Less than one week after a self-proclaimed dictator, climate change denier, and big oil-funded billionaire (among other equally impressive accolades) took the single most powerful political office in the world, it seems like a horrible time to release a book about the Green New Deal (GND).
You can have a scientifically rigorous diagnosis of climate change, together with a plethora of reasonable policies to tackle the problem, but if your program lacks a strong coalition and powerful political strategy, it will fail.
