Social Transformation for Climate Change

"A great book demonstrating the need for major social transformation in the future.
A must-read."

Thomas Piketty, Professor at L'Ecole des Etudes en Sciences Sociales, Paris School of Economics, France, and Co-director of the World Inequality Lab and the World Inequality Database

"In Social Transformation for Climate Change, Nicholas Low throws down a double challenge, to recognize the climate emergency as the defining crisis of our age, and to take up the democratic transformation of society required in response. This far-sighted, deeply researched, and well-reasoned book is required reading for all those concerned with the future of the planet."

Robert Lake, Professor Emeritus of urban planning and policy development and a memberof the Graduate Faculties in the Department of Geography, Rutgers University, USA

"A spellbinding account of the ecological, social and democratic crisis of
hypercapitalism and how we might collectively transform it into a better place
for all."

David Hayward, Emeritus Professor of Public Policy and the Social Economy at RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia

"Nicholas Low has done something very special with this book. With innovative rigour he has examined climate change, its historical roots, and its political and economic dynamics, and has suggested the direction in which humans must collectively move in order to avert a catastrophe. No single book can provide the final word on that, but in indicating the direction he has given us a much clearer understanding of the way forward."
