Reviews
"Neoliberal proposals for re-organizing the global economy rose to prominence in parallel with the emergence of a consciousness of the global economy’s material limits. Jeremy Walker has written the first book devoted to the fraught relationship between neoliberal economics and ecology—an essential contribution to today’s most pressing discussions." (Quinn Slobodian, Associate Professor of History, Wellesley College, Massachusetts, USA)
"Blazing a trail between photosynthesis and pyrotechnology, Walker guides us masterfully through the making of today’s global thermo-industrial catastrophe." (Nigel Clark, Professor, Chair of Social Sustainability, Lancaster Environment Centre, Lancaster University, UK)
