Left-leaning leaders armed with programs to reduce poverty and reclaim national wealth were seeing results—but as the aughts gave way to the teens, they began to fall like dominos. Where did the dreams of this "pink tide" go? Look no further than the original culprits of Latin American disenfranchisement: resource-rich land and unscrupulous extraction.

Questo è un libro sul surriscaldamento globale, sulla devastazione degli ecosistemi, sull’estinzione di massa ma non sull’Apocalisse. È, anzi, un libro sulla speranza. Possiamo ancora salvare il mondo, possiamo ancora cambiare il nostro destino, possiamo ancora sopravvivere all’antropocene. Dobbiamo però ripensare completamente il nostro modo di produrre e di consumare, abbandonando il paradigma della crescita economica infinita e dell’accumulazione, superando lo sfruttamento selvaggio delle risorse naturali.

Economic growth is wrecking the planet. It's the engine driving climate change, pollution, and the shrinking of natural spaces. To save the environment, will we have to shrink the economy? Might this lead to a better society, helping us break free from an obsession with material wealth that only benefits the few? Alessio Terzi takes these questions as a starting point for a journey into the socioeconomic, evolutionary, and cultural origins of our need for growth.

Une demande en forte croissance La demande d'énergie devrait croître de 60% d'ici à 2030 sous l'effet conjugué de la croissance de la population mondiale et de la croissance de la consommation énergétique par habitant. Or c'est précisément la consommation énergétique, largement dominée par les énergies fossiles, pétrole notamment, qui produit le gaz carbonique qui détériore notre environnement. Concilier croissance économique et protection de l'environnement est donc un enjeu majeur des prochaines décennies.

Within every company, there lies a sleeping giant. Companies have long been viewed as either the primary cause of environmental destruction, or as a deep-pocketed funding source for people trying to confront it. But with their access to innovation, new technology, and intellectual firepower, most companies are built to tackle the challenges our planet faces in a way smaller organizations and foundations can’t. What would happen if executives stopped looking at sustainability as a side project for the PR team and saw it instead as a way to benefit the planet and their profits?
