This is a great review. I am disappointed that Klien and his co-author appear to be about 10 years behind the curve, but I appreciate that the conversation is being had, and that books like this lead to reviews like this.

I'd never heard the term "Solar communism". I appreciate being introduced to that and to the work of David and Peter Schwartzman.

A great read! Thanks for sharing!

Large increases in material output, we are assured, can save liberalism from the civilizational choice between socialism and barbarism. I disagree; refusing to be forthright about society’s structural antagonisms opens the door to demagogues who peddle false conflicts that still ring truer than the liberals’ false peace.
