Therefore I would have wished Collier to address atleast a chapter or two for the elephant in the room: the climate and ecological crisis. I was looking forward to his arguments on what should be done to decouple gdp growth from the growth of resource usage, moving towards carbon neutrality and eventually a regenerative economy, but found none that specifically tackle this crisis. I regard this as the biggest weakness of the book and a reason why many climate concerned readers will wholly disregard the arguments of this book for fixing capitalism in favor of replacing it. I suspect Collier is going to be challenged on this front and look forward to reading his take on this anxiety inducing subject matter.
Other than that the book has valuable points about the mismanagement of capitalism, that has created anxieties and rifts in our society, as well as ideas on how to fix them. This would be a three star book if Collier had not presented very valuable suggestions on how to get society and capitalism back on better track. In fact this is why I will recommend the book because we need to bring the suggestions Collier makes into the public debate.
