Written by a New York Times bestselling economic theorist who has advised the European Union and China on energy transitions, this hardback offers sharp analysis for readers interested in climate policy, sustainable economics, and the future of global energy markets. About the Book: In The Green New Deal, Jeremy Rifkin argues that a convergence of collapsing fossil fuel asset values and a rising green political movement creates a genuine opportunity to pivot the global economy away from carbon before catastrophic climate tipping points are reached. Drawing on twenty-five years of experience helping design Green New Deal-style transitions for the European Union and China, Rifkin explains the economic mechanics behind a looming "carbon bubble" and why solar and wind power are becoming cheaper than oil, coal, and gas. The book moves between economic theory, environmental science, and political strategy, mapping how stranded fossil fuel assets could destabilise markets while opening the door to green job creation and infrastructure renewal. Rifkin sets out a practical blueprint for governments, businesses, and communities to accelerate the shift toward renewables, pointing to sectors already reallocating capital away from fossil fuels.
