Maybe air pollution, toxic waste, or deforestation. These all seem like solid choices, but none of these is actually an environmental problem--at least, not at its heart. Deep down they're economic problems. Nearly all the issues we classify as environmental stem from defects in the DNA of America's current market system. This is emphatically true of our greatest environmental threat: global warming. With a focus on climate change, journalist and author Robert S. Devine reveals the fundamental flaws in the economy that enable environmental degradation. This is a book about economics, but it skips the equations and eases through the jargon, opting instead for compelling stories and surprising humor. Readers will encounter high-tech narwhals, struggling coal workers, orbiting giant mirrors, the kids who are suing the U.S. government over climate policy, and vanishing Alaskan towns"-- 4aEconomic development zUnited States xHistory y21st century. 4aEnvironmental policyzUnited States. 4aClimatic changesxEconomic aspectszUnited States. 4aClimatic changeszUnited States.  2lcccBK  00104070aPNLIBbPNLIBcGENd2021-06-17oHC106.84 .D48 2020pPNLIB21060123r2021-06-17w2021-06-17yBK  c309d309
