Beschreibungen
This is a darkly humorous guide to the three great crises plaguing today's world: environmental degradation, social conflict in the age of austerity and financial instability.
<br>
<br> Rob Larson holds mainstream economic theory up against the grim reality of a planet in meltdown. He looks at scientists’ conclusions about climate change, the business world’s opinions about its own power, and reveals the fingerprints of finance on American elections.
<br>
<br> Through ascerbic analysis, Bleakonomics unveils a world of extreme inequality, confusion and insanity.
