Summary
We often assume that poor countries will bear the brunt of climate change, pandemics, and other exogenous shocks, but this book argues the opposite: western societies have more wealth and capital to lose, and are less inherently resilient. Icarus Economics shows how rich countries can help poor countries to decarbonise as they develop and, in the process, repair their own stagnating economies - as well as the planet.©2026 John Rapley (P)2026 W.F.Howes ltd
