Critics Review
Timely and provocative. Beuret turns the scarcity of hope and the contraction of politics into an opportunity for deepening and expanding our tactics. Fighting back against the capitalist climate transition is possible. Beuret shows us how – Jodi Dean, author of Capital’s Grave
Our world is getting warmer and weirder. In response, politicians and the wealthy promise a “green transition” that fails to solve climate change while hurting ordinary people. This book provides a road map for resistance – Joel Wainwright, author of The End
Nicholas Neuret’s book not only lays out the case against “green capitalism,” but also highlights the work of those fighting back against it. We need books that inspire action, and I welcome any work that contributes to mitigating unproductive despair and inspiring the fight ahead. – Most Anticipated Books of 2025 * Lit Hub *
