"We cannot understand the climate crisis without recognizing that it is a material struggle. As Jessica Green's insightful, searing book shows, climate action creates winners and losers. Continuing to fixate on counting up emissions without a political plan to break the power of the fossil fuel industry only benefits polluters. This is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding how we can tackle this existential problem."—Leah C. Stokes, University of California, Santa Barbara

“The power of Jessica Green’s approach is that she shows us why the struggle between asset owners is existential and why if we want to really impact climate change, we need to attend directly to the value of assets themselves. If green assets gain value, carbon assets fall in value. This gives us a politics where the revaluation of assets effectively determines whose way of life gets to survive—an existential, all-or-nothing struggle.”—Mark Blyth, Brown University

“Slashing humanity’s impact of industry on the climate will, if successful, transform the economic pecking order. Some industries will become a lot more valuable; others will see their asset values collapse. Jessica Green shows how climate policy from the global to the local levels must be transformed to focus more squarely on asset revaluation. While pragmatic and creative, her sweeping study has radical implications for the future of economic and political power.”—David G. Victor, coauthor of Fixing the Climate

“This is a compelling book that makes a forceful and normatively important intervention in debates over climate politics. It will generate serious debate and become a touchpoint in the ongoing global conversation on the climate crisis.”—Matto Mildenberger, University of California, Santa Barbara
