This book examines the risk that the 'green economy' is not so much about greening the economy, as it is about economising the green message. In doing so, the authors unravel the myth of the green economy in all its dimensions - from emissions trading to sustainable consumption, from population control to technological optimism. Taking a critical approach, this book offers a highly original perspective on the social and ecological consequences of a global economic system attempting to tackle climate change within the confines of capitalism. The book should be of interest to students and scholars of environmental politics, political philosophy, political economy and climate change.
