A Good War

Short Description

This book will explore whether we can successfully align our politics with climate science, and the conditions under which it may be possible to act boldly. Canada’s WWII experience, Klein contends, provides a reminder that we have mobilized in common cause and retooled our economy in a few short years.

Sales and Market Bullets

Seth Klein has amassed over two decades of deep policy knowledge and expertise in the Canadian context, with a focus on poverty, inequality, economic security, fiscal and economic policy, and climate. He is the founder of the British Columbia Poverty Reduction Coalition and spent years overseeing the Climate Justice Project.
This book is a tool for engaging with political parties and leaders who purport to understand the climate crisis, but whose actions to date are minimal or contradictory. He sees a disconnect between what the public is ready to hear and what political leaders are prepared to say and wants this book to close that gap.
Klein contends that the challenge is not one of technology or policy, but political will.
