[RECORDING] Market Failure: The Climate Crisis and the Limits of Capitalism

Brett Christophers and Adam Tooze in conversation, moderated by Kate Aronoff.

In his 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.

On October 26, 2024, Christophers spoke with historian Adam Tooze, in a conversation moderated by journalist Kate Aronoff, about the political economy of the energy transition. Hosted by Dissent Magazine and the Robert L. Heilbroner Center for Capitalism Studies at the New School.
