What goals are still feasible for the politics of emancipation on a ruined planet?This is where we are. Today's techno-oligarchs are not concerned with saving the planet; rather, they have accepted the end of progress and are focused on safeguarding their wealth in the face of an impending political and ecological collapse. Artificial intelligence and algorithms make decisions for us. Climate breakdown has long steamed past the wreckage of the Paris Agreement.Perhaps the accelerationists have the right idea. Accelerationism - which aims to resolve the current crisis through the intensification of technological development - is the only philosophy not clinging to the now-extinct idea of progress. The idea has gained ground on both the left and right: but the right-wing is shot through with misanthropy, while the left remains entangled in a faith in technological progress and the domination of nature.Transcending capitalism at the end of progress requires a synthesis of the two. The result of this synthesis: Dark Socialism. From 'rock star philosopher' Kohei Saito comes an anticapitalist clarion call for our breakneck times, channeling despair into a socialist project equal to the end of progress.

Hope in a Ruined World

Dark Socialism

Why Big Labor moved to the right—and the fight ahead for the left to win back America’s working class Unions helped construct the American middle class, defeat Jim Crow, and advance progressive rights, but in Trump’s America, the labor movement is changing. In Big Labor's Big Shift, journalist Nathan Bomey explores how Big Labor and the working class are no longer an automatic ally of the American left. Fueled by decades of economic decline, political disillusionment, and cultural disenfranchisement, new politically nebulous and economically populist leaders in the movement are building a powerful new movement based on class warfare that prizes wage and benefit gains over traditional progressive priorities. Through original reporting and first-hand interviews, Bomey traces key events that have led to this political shift. Bomey reveals: -At the Teamsters, president Sean O’Brien is cozying up to Donald Trump and blasting Democrats as tools of big business, even showing up at the Republican National Convention to deliver his message. -At the United Auto Workers, president Shawn Fain is seizing an opportunity to break the free trade consensus in Washington. The devout Christian, who wields religious rhetoric from the stump, is aligning with the Trump White House on tariffs and blasting Democrats for aggressively pursuing electric vehicles to fight climate change. Bomey shows how the two interconnected phenomena represent a massive political realignment—not just along cultural and nationalism lines, but of the working class itself away from its historic roots in the Democratic party. Urgent and compelling, Big Labor's Big Shift encapsulates the fight for the soul of the union movement.

Why Unions Left Democrats

Big Labor's Big Shift

In many parts of the world, 100-degree days are already common. In the Indian subcontinent, temperatures can become so high that concrete in the cities buckles. In Morocco, hotter and longer droughts threaten crops and livestock, possibly wiping out the livelihood of millions. The lives of the world's poorest are already harder, hotter, and shorter thanks to emissions that disproportionately come from the world's richest. But just as the rich world's emissions are finally falling, poorer countries' are set to increase drastically. We seem to be caught in an impossible bind-but it's not too late.Renowned economists Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo (co-recipients of the 2019 Nobel Prize), and Michael Greenstone propose a radical new approach to combating climate change and the devastation that is already causing the most serious global crisis of our time. Substantial progress is possible if the wealthiest countries compensate the poorer countries for the harms that their emissions cause and, in exchange, poorer countries commit to climate action. Based on meticulous original research, years of fieldwork around the world, and deep engagement with world leaders and climate negotiators, Banerjee, Duflo, and Greenstone dive deeply into the specifics to show how this grand bargain would work to curtail emissions and address the suffering of the world's neediest.This paradigm-shifting and inspiring book reassures us that we can successfully confront the challenge. We can protect the poor while protecting our future. It's just economics.

Umweltökonomie und Klimapolitik

This book reframes the question of how Africa industrializes, and is the first to address a key challenge facing African economies today: achieving structural transformation alongside decarbonization, i.e. industrializing and greening simultaneously, rather than sequentially as earlier developers did. 

Drawing on primary fieldwork across five national economies - Ethiopia, Mauritius, Morocco, Nigeria, and South Africa - and six strategic sectors, accounting for 40% of Africa's GDP and a third of its population, Arkebe Oqubay advances the concept of Green Productive Transformation, in which structural economic change and decarbonization are treated as mutually constitutive imperatives rather than competing objectives. The comparative evidence demonstrates that where government policy, industrial hubs, and firm capabilities are strategically aligned, productive transformation and green transformation reinforce each other; where they are not, industrial growth follows the path of least environmental resistance, producing carbon lock-in. 

Just transition and energy transition frameworks are designed primarily with industrialized economies in mind. This book challenges the utility of these frameworks for Africa, and instead advances a domestically-driven alternative, grounded in structural transformation theory, green industrial policy, and the political economy of late development. No single green pathway exists for Africa: the evidence presented here reveals conditional pathways shaped by national context, sectoral configuration, and policy choice. A green, productive Africa is not an inevitable outcome of global technological change, but it is genuinely within reach, and the first step is getting the analysis right.

Routledge Studies in Global Land and Resource Grabbing

This book critically examines the driving forces, discourses, and conflicts surrounding Chinese investments in overseas farmland, with a specific focus on Australia.With growing amounts of finance channeled into the purchase of overseas food and farming assets, China has become a frontrunner in the global land rush. Unlike much of the existing literature that focuses on emerging economies such as Brazil or Africa, this book examines Chinese farmland purchases in the developed country context of Australia. Based on four years of extensive field work in Australia and China, it traces the encounters and interactions between investors, regulators, deal brokers, farmers, and eaters that shape the ways in which individual Chinese investment projects materialize in the Australian countryside. In contrast to conventional wisdom portraying China's overseas land rush as a state-led strategy to feed the Chinese population, this book reveals that Chinese investments in Australian farmland have been propelled by the intersecting interests of international finance and business elites looking to cash in on booming Chinese demand for high-quality, Western food products. This book provides a unique transnational perspective on China's overseas farmland purchases and shows how Chinese farmland investments produce uneven geographies of agri-food globalization that cut across national borders. Through the lens of China's agri-engagement in Australia, this book advances our theoretical understanding of the new types of power relations and dynamics shaping an increasingly multi-polar agri-food system.This book will be useful to students and scholars of agri-food studies, Chinese studies and globalization with an interest in the global land rush and the shifting contours of the global agri-food system.

Sustainability practitioners are operating in challenging waters: Ever-evolving regulations, shifting political winds, and heightened stakeholder demands have created a landscape that often feels chaotic and contradictory. In this time of profound change there are both significant risks and new opportunities for companies. Navigating these times requires not only technical expertise but also sharper judgment and the ability to balance immediate business demands with long-term value creation. Navigating the Business of Sustainability: A Practitioner’s Guide is a practical, experience-driven resource for leaders striving for positive, lasting impact while charting a rapidly changing landscape. Built on decades of real-world experience from practitioners who have successfully led corporate sustainability through multiple cycles, this book addresses the key challenges when integrating sustainability into business strategy and operations. By focusing on what works in practice, this book is a guide for practitioners to manage conflicting priorities, foster innovation, and create enduring benefits for both business and society.

A grounded guide to thinking bigger with AI--and putting both human and machine intelligence to work across business and everyday life In The Intelligence Leap: How Humans + AI will Solve Problems, Reimagine Business, and Improve Lives, Gopi Kallayil, the Global AI Business Strategist and Leader at Google, argues that AI is the most profound invention in human history--for one specific reason. Nearly every major tool before it extended our physical capabilities. AI amplifies our cognitive abilities, which represents a leap in human intelligence. It doesn't replace our natural intelligence; it complements it, so that a single person can now harness the thinking power of an entire team. Drawing on hundreds of conversations with the world's top executives, Kallayil turns that shift into something any leader can actually use. He starts by demystifying AI in plain English--how it works, and what it's genuinely good at versus what it isn't. From there he makes his central case: the biggest breakthroughs won't come from working faster, but from non-linear thinkers who reimagine the problem entirely, the way Uber's founders stitched together maps, GPS, and idle cars into something the taxi and car rental industries never saw coming. AI doesn't hand out big ideas, but it supercharges the people who have them--empowering them to chase even bolder ones and build disruptions that dwarf what we've seen so far. The rest of the book brings all of this down to earth. Kallayil looks at business through four lenses--consumer behavior, marketing, service delivery, and operations--and gives readers practical frameworks alongside case studies from hospitality, retail, financial services, healthcare, and transportation. Throughout, his message stays consistent: this is a moment of extraordinary opportunity, and it belongs to whoever has the best idea and can act on it first. Readers will also discover: <ul> <li>A jargon-free explanation of how AI actually works--what it's uniquely good at, and where it still falls short</li> <li>Why non-linear thinking, not raw effort or technical expertise, produces real breakthroughs--and how AI helps those thinkers reach solutions no one else has found</li> <li>The four conditions that spark non-linear thinking inside any organization</li> <li>Case studies from six industries--hospitality, transportation, retail, financial services, auto, and healthcare--showing the same transformation play out in strikingly different ways</li> <li>A grounded, optimistic take on AI's real risks--and the guardrails that let you move fast without getting burned</li> </ul> Ideal for business leaders, entrepreneurs, marketers, and anyone trying to understand where they fit in an AI-powered world, The Intelligence Leap offers a grounded way to combine human and artificial intelligence--to solve problems, transform organizations, and create lasting value.
