Calling everyone interested in the challenges we face in responding to global warming! PAIS welcomes you to a hybrid talk by Jack Copley.

As Copley describes: “Avoiding catastrophic global warming requires the decarbonisation of the world economy. But this green transformation faces a series of intersecting obstacles posed by capitalism’s long-run developmental tendencies, including entrenched economic stagnation and the proliferation of surplus populations. Pursuing decarbonisation in this context will test the ability of capitalist states to govern while maintaining their liberal form.”
