Overview

Fully revised and updated edition of Porritt's groundbreaking work includes fresh coverage of the USA and China, corporate giants such as Wal-Mart and GE, the evolving politics of climate change and the rise of religious environmentalism.; When first published in 2005, Capitalism as if the World Matters shocked both a generation of environmentalists and a generation of business people with a powerful argument that the only way to save the world from climate change and environmental catastrophe is to embrace a new type of capitalism, and to do it quickly.; In this substantially revised and updated edition, Porritt extends his controversial argument, answers his critics and provides fresh evidence and actions in a tightly argued and highly accessible book. New material includes in-depth coverage of the United States and the politics of climate change, the state of environmental debate and the massive upsurge in religious engagement with climate and the environment. Fresh case studies include the role of huge corporations such as Wal-Mart and General Electric in our sustainable capitalist future. Porritt also looks in-depth at China and the global impacts this economic giant may have as it grows into the most environmentally damaging - or perhaps the first sustainable - superpower of the 21st century.
