<p><b>Creative and practical free-market solutions to climate change</b> <p>In <i>Capitalism Created the Climate Crisis and Capitalism Will Solve It: The Market Forces Catalyzing a Climate Technology Renaissance</i>, distinguished author Kentaro Kawamori delivers a fascinating and timely exploration of the interplay between capitalism and climate change. He explains how the capitalist system helped to contribute to the current crisis of global warming and how that same system will help to end it. <p>In the book, the author discusses the enormous impact of the climate crisis and how the government, the modern finance industry, the fossil fuel industry, and others combined to accelerate the warming of the world. He then considers the roles those same players will play to reverse this effect in the coming years. <p>You’ll also find: <ul> <li>Discussions of how climate tech innovations will transform the economy and how technology disruptors will become involved in the process</li> <li>The ways the energy industry will change to incorporate the realities and consequences of a warming climate</li> <li>Explorations of the incentives created by free market structures and how to include climate stakeholders in the discussion</li></ul><p>An engaging and exciting new resource for anyone interested in the intersection of economics, business, and the environment, <i>Capitalism Created the Climate Crisis and Capitalism Will Solve It</i> contains practical and thoughtful climate prescriptions for a world desperately in need of them.

<p> <B>THERE IS HOPE FOR THE FUTURE, AND CLIMATE RECOVERY IS ALREADY UNDERWAY </B> <p><i>Capitalism Created the Climate Crisis and Capitalism Will Solve It </i>is a book whose title says it all. From the industrial revolution and the fossil fuel industry to the free market and Wall Street, the market forces that transformed the world starting in the mid-1700s led to some alarming consequences. Inside, climate tech thought leader Kentaro Kawamori explains exactly how it all happened—and what today’s groundbreaking entrepreneurs, investors, legislators, and activists are doing about it. <p>It would be natural to want to dismantle the system that generated catastrophic climate instability. But the same system has also generated incredible advances, including renewable energy, stakeholder accountability, and climate tech innovations that are poised to revolutionize—without destroying—our capitalist economy. Best of all, these solutions are <i>already in place </i>and gaining speed. For anyone who wants to know more about how capitalism can and will save the planet, and how to be part of the solution, <i>Capitalism Created the Climate Crisis and Capitalism Will Solve It </i>is a must-read.
