From the Tar Sands to “Green Jobs”? Work and Ecological Justice

Part III: Future Prospects

From: A Line in the Tar Sands

$1.30

In Chapter 27, Greg Albo and Lilian Yap discuss the ecological and social implications climate change has—or should have— in becoming a central parameter for all discussions of work and capitalism. They discuss the history of capitalism, greenhouse gas emissions’ “tipping point,” green growth and market ecology, “green jobs” and institutional ecology, carbon reduction and environmental justice alternatives.
