Can the same corporations that have brought us violent overconsumption, endless growth, and inequality be trusted to fix those crises? Spoiler alert: not a chance. Rarely have the questions in this pithy book been framed so carefully, or answered so satisfyingly. Naomi Klein, author of No Is Not Enough and This Changes Everything. Peter Dauvergne's book is so reasonably argued it is hard to believe his conclusion is so radical. Put bluntly, without growth corporations will die, so they must keep selling us more stuff. It is in the system's DNA. But the organism is now devouring its host, and we need a mutation -- fast. Clive Hamilton, Charles Sturt University, Canberra
