The World After Us: How Not to Let the Planet Die

Are we capable, living in an era of global warming and globalization, political and economic crises, to imagine what future awaits us very soon? Maya Göpel, a doctor of economic sciences and a public figure, addresses the pain points of human civilization at the beginning of the 21st century – mass extinction, overconsumption, the gap between the rich and the poor, and the consequences of progress in science and technology in her book. She explains the rules by which modern economic theory has developed from Adam Smith to Thomas Piketty and discusses how we can avoid catastrophe and change the world for the better so that our children and grandchildren do not have to pay too high a price for our mistakes.
