Kate SummerscaleShortlisted for the Duff Cooper Prize 2021A Sunday Times, TLS, Spectator and New Statesman Book of the Year Aunt Munca never told the truth about anything.

Read Or Download What Climate Justice Means and Why We Should Care by Elizabeth Cripps Full Pages.

We owe it to our fellow humans ? and other species ? to save them from the catastrophic harm caused by climate change.Philosopher Elizabeth Cripps approaches climate justice not just as an abstract idea but as something that should motivate us all. Using clear reasoning and poignant examples, starting from irrefutable science and uncontroversial moral rules, she explores our obligations to each other and to the non-human world, unravels the legacy of colonialism and entrenched racism, and makes the case for immediate action.The second half of the book looks at solutions. Who should pay the bill for climate action? Who must have a say? How can we hold multinational companies, organisations ? even nations ? to account? Cripps argues powerfully that climate justice goes beyond political polarization. Climate activism is a moral duty, not a political choice.

Read Or Download The New Political Capitalism: How Businesses and Societies Can Thrive in a Deeply Politicized World by Joe Zammit-Lucia Full Pages.

The New Political Capitalism bridges the gap between the reality of the relationship between politics and business, and the lack of familiarity of the business community, even at the most senior levels, with political thinking. The book demonstrates how businesses that develop effective political antennae can enhance their performance in the emerging age of Political Capitalism. This new book challenges the notion that business is, or can ever be, 'apolitical'. It argues that politics ? the visible reflection of social values and cultural trends ? shapes the environment in which business operates. More and more people are becoming politicised in the sense that they have strong views about how our societies should function ? and the role that business must play. Socio-political issues increasingly affect purchasing decisions with the marketplace becoming one way in which citizens express their political identity ? the rise of what some have called 'political consumerism'. Markets
