In his new book The Price is Wrong: Why Capitalism Won’t Save the Planet, Brett Christophers argues that there is a central flaw in the market-led approach to the climate crisis: renewables aren’t profitable enough to spur decarbonization. In this event, Christophers will speak with historian Adam Tooze, in a conversation moderated by journalist Kate Aronoff, about the political economy of the energy transition and accelerating climate breakdown.
