New Deal’. The idea of a Green New Deal has become a watchword in the current
era of global climate crisis. But what - and for whom - is the Green New Deal?
In this concise book, Max Ajl provides an overview of the various mainstream
Green New Deals. Critically engaging with their proponents, their ideological
underpinnings, and their limitations. Ajl goes on to sketch out a radical
alternative: a ‘People’s Green New Deal’ committed to decommodification,
working-class power, anti-imperialism and agro-ecology. --- # Apperances
