  • More about Capitalism and the Environment: A Proposal to Save the Planet

Capitalism and the Environment argues that inequality and environmental calamities are political failures and not a symptom of capitalism. It proposes making different political choices to harness the transformative power of capitalism to reverse course and save the environment.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 400 pages
Publication date: 09 December 2021
Publisher: Cambridge University Press


Rising economic inequality has put capitalism on trial globally, with existential environmental threats worsening while corporations continue to pollute and distort government policy. These twin crises have converged in calls to revamp government and economic systems and to revisit socialism, given up for dead only 30 years ago. In Capitalism and the Environment, Shi-Ling Hsu argues that such an impulse, if enacted, will ultimately harm the environment. Hsu argues that inequality and environmental calamities are political failures – the result of bad decision-making – and not a symptom of capitalism. Like socialism, capitalism is composed of political choices. This book proposes that we make a different set of choices to better harness the transformative power of capitalism, which will allow us to reverse course and save the environment.
