商品描述
Rising economic inequality has put capitalism on trial globally. At the same time, existential environmental threats worsen 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.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
經濟不平等的上升使資本主義在全球受到審判。與此同時,存在的環境威脅日益惡化,而企業仍然繼續污染並扭曲政府政策。這兩場危機促使人們呼籲改革政府和經濟體系,並重新檢視在30年前被認為已經死去的社會主義。在《資本主義與環境》一書中,許士齡主張,這種衝動如果付諸實行,最終將對環境造成傷害。許士齡認為,不平等和環境災難是政治失敗的結果——不良決策的產物——而不是資本主義的症狀。與社會主義類似,資本主義是由政治選擇組成的。本書提議我們做出一組不同的選擇,以更好地利用資本主義的變革力量,這將使我們能夠逆轉方向,拯救環境。
