Description
We live in one of the most crucial periods of human history and we are pawns in a chess game that pits capitalism against every other living form in the planet. In Stand and Deliver! Salvador Lledó shows us the way out of the ecological crisis we currently live in – and he makes it understandable and entertaining. From the main cause (how our economic system needs growth) to the main symptom, the climate emergency, to the wide range of political proposals born from the need to bring the way we produce and consume and destroy our nature to a full stop. The book allows us to understand the scope of the natural catastrophe and what does it mean every solution we are confronted with. But it also invite us to ponder our lifestyles: if our Western societies are no more than an illusion fuelled by an amount of energy that we will never see again, if we have to organize to build for everybody a liveable future, in balance with our planet. Otherwise, the answer will be too late and leave many stranded.
