The Path to a Livable Future

The Path to a Livable Future Synopsis

This book evolved from the crises of 2020: fighting a pandemic, climate catastrophe, and racial injustice. The author's previous book The Green New Deal and Beyond was published in April 2020, at the beginning of the pandemic, so it, obviously, suffered from those limitations. Whereas The Green New Deal and Beyond exclusively focuses on climate policy, The Path examines the lessons to learned from 2020 to fight for climate justice and racial justice and prevent the next pandemic.

The book, unlike any other, shows the crises' common causes and urgently argues that the best way to eradicate each is together. Cox's call for political change and cross-border solidarity will resonate deeply with those who support Black Lives Matter, environmental justice movements, and efforts to prevent future pandemics. Cox's plan's for reversing climate change is detailed and clear.

Stan Cox's publishing profile, career, and agricultural work positions him has as a credible, common-sense voice for the necessity of making changes to national policy, social norms, and individual lifestyles. Written in clear language for all types of readers, the book's proposed solutions are concrete, common sense, and accessible. Foreword authored by Zenobia Jeffries Warfield, Executive Editor of YES Magazine and a leading contributor on matters of racial justice.
