THERE IS HOPE FOR THE FUTURE, AND CLIMATE RECOVERY IS ALREADY UNDERWAY

Capitalism Created the Climate Crisis and Capitalism Will Solve It is a book whose title says it all. From the industrial revolution and the fossil fuel industry to the free market and Wall Street, the market forces that transformed the world starting in the mid-1700s led to some alarming consequences. Inside, climate tech thought leader Kentaro Kawamori explains exactly how it all happened—and what today’s groundbreaking entrepreneurs, investors, legislators, and activists are doing about it.

It would be natural to want to dismantle the system that generated catastrophic climate instability. But the same system has also generated incredible advances, including renewable energy, stakeholder accountability, and climate tech innovations that are poised to revolutionize—without destroying—our capitalist economy. Best of all, these solutions are already in place and gaining speed.
