{"product_id":"unsustainable","title":"Unsustainable","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn direct language, Unsustainable explains the double bind in which humanity now finds itself - an environmental crisis that is escalating year on year, and a human and social crisis of poverty and inequality that is also growing increasingly worse. Aimed at a concerned, popular audience, including both budding social activists and young people studying the environment and international development, the book explains how these twin crises share the same historical roots. Brilliantly combining a huge amount of up-to-date information, visual charts, and clear explanation, Hossay shows step by step how a particular historical path of colonialism, capitalist development and industrial growth has brought us to this state. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHe shows how current attempts to develop effective environmental policies and to promote sustainable and socially just development internationally are being stymied by free-market forces, corporate-centered globalization, and the policies and actions of key international institutions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe very structure of our global order is unsustainable. There are no simple answers. Changing our own behavior is important, but fundamentally inadequate. Hossay argues that only a fundamental restructuring of the way we do business will save us from environmental and human catastrophe. And he suggests ways in which we can work for such changes.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48833558937805,"sku":"9781842776575","price":48.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/1529\/9533\/files\/imageloader_3faa70b0-963f-4772-a2dd-3d1160ef61eb.jpg?v=1790888574","url":"https:\/\/booksatmidnight.com\/products\/unsustainable","provider":"Books At Midnight","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
