Résumé

For decades we have known about the dangers of global warming. Nevertheless, greenhouse gas emissions continue to increase. How can we explain our failure to take the necessary measures to stop climate change? In How We Sold Our Future. The Failure to Fight Climate Change, sociologist Jens Beckert delves into the connections between capitalist structures and our failure to address the climate crisis. How do we stop selling our future for the next quarterly figures, the upcoming election result and today's pleasure?
