*The Price is Wrong: Why Capitalism Won’t Save the Planet*


[image: Brett Christophers.png]  [image: The Price is Wrong.png]



“Standard theories of the causes of climate breakdown will not survive this
book.  Readers will be all the wiser.”

--Andreas Malm, author of *How to Blow Up a Pipeline*



*Why the market will never solve the climate crisis.*



What if our understanding of capitalism and climate is back to front?  What
if the problem is not that transitioning to renewables is too expensive,
but that saving the planet is not sufficiently profitable?



This is Brett Christopher’s claim.  The global economy is moving too slowly
toward sustainability because the return on green investment is too low.



Today’s consensus is that the key to curbing climate change is to produce
green electricity and electrify everything possible.  The main economic
barrier in that project has seemingly been removed.  But while prices of
solar power have tumbled, the golden era of renewables has yet to
materialize.



*Brett Christophers * is a political economist and economic geographer, and
the author of *Our Lives in Their Portfolios, Rentier Capitalism *and * The
New Enclosure, *which won the Isaac and Tamara Deutscher Memorial Prize.
Brett Christophers is based at Uppsala University in Sweden.
