A decade later, the idea was revived among democratic socialists in the US, spearheaded by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The \u003cem\u003eGreen New Deal\u003c\/em\u003e demands a radical and urgent reversal of the current state of the global economy: including total de-carbonisation and a commitment to fairness and social justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCritics on all sides have been quick to claim that the GND is a pipe dream that could never be implemented and would cost the Earth. However, Ann Pettifor illustrates that we need to rethink the function of money and how it works within the global system. How can we bail out the banks but not the planet? We must stop thinking about the imperative of economic growth—nothing grows forever. The programme will be a long-term project, but it needs to start immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46850008580332,"sku":"9781788739528","price":32.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/d92fb21022a5fa2ef1a7d931fc4f74b8.jpg?v=1759168763"},{"product_id":"the-global-casino-by-ann-pettifor-9781804297223","title":"The Global Casino","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor readers of Brett Christophers, Yanis Varoufakis and Grace Blakeley, Pettifor unpacks the hidden world of shadow banking and show how global markets really work. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWall Street controls the price of anything. Larger than the national economies, and almost invisible, it nevertheless determines the international costs of everyday things - from the cost of oil to household goods and most importantly of all, credit. Unless we understand how the money system works we will never be able to face the challenges of the climate crisis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe can not hope to face climate catastrophe until we have taken control of the financial system. It is the pursuit of profit, wherever in the world it can be leveraged, that makes it impossible for national governments to impose restrictions on carbon. Pettifor charts the vast networks that ensnare us, and shows that prices are more than supply and demand. She shows us that the rise in the price of oil in 2022 had little to do with Russia. And why the global price of copper is determined by an exchange in Chicago. Understanding these networks matter, and turning them towards the common good, if we have any hope for the future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Pettifor was always the ideal author of a book that shatters the fantasy of apolitical money and the toxic myth that monetary policy must remain a democracy-free zone.'
