So, to start 2022 strong, let’s pair this with Ajl’s synthesis of Green New Deal + decolonization: World Dominance, and The Agrarian Question in the Neoliberal Era: Primitive Accumulation and the Peasantry an unexpected gem was Hickel’s synthesis of degrowth + decolonization ( Less is More: How Degrowth Will Save the World). I checked off several must-reads in 2021, including Capital: A Critique of Political Economy, Volume 1, The Bubble and Beyond, Super Imperialism: The Origin and Fundamentals of U.S. Given the lack of social imagination around me (work/university/life), I’m further prioritizing social research. 2021 was a year of growing urgency formally studying/working in public health and seeing global capitalism’s abysmal handling of the pandemic further emphasized how unprepared our political economic system (my “extracurricular” study) is to much-greater ecological crises. What would the Green New Deal look like if the Global South mattered? As the climate crisis deepens and the literature on the subject grows, A People's Green New Deal contributes a distinctive perspective to the debate. Resolving this crisis, he argues, requires nothing less than an infrastructural and agricultural transformation in the Global North, and the industrial convergence between North and South. Critically engaging with their proponents, ideological underpinnings and limitations, he goes on to sketch out a radical alternative: a 'People's Green New Deal' committed to decommodification, working-class power, anti-imperialism and agro-ecology.Ījl diagnoses the roots of the current socio-ecological crisis as emerging from a world-system dominated by the logics of capitalism and imperialism. In this concise and urgent book, Max Ajl provides an overview of the various mainstream Green New Deals. But what - and for whom - is the Green New Deal? It has become a watchword in the current era of global climate crisis.

The idea of a Green New Deal was launched into popular consciousness by US Congressperson Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in 2018. An urgent demand for a People's Green New Deal, foregrounding global agricultural transformation and climate justice for the Global South
