Planet on Fire
Book •
Planet on Fire by Matthew Lawrence explores the deep connections between ecological crisis and the existing political-economic order, arguing that climate breakdown reflects structural failures of capitalist governance.
Lawrence analyzes how private ownership, short-term profit motives, and financialization impede the large-scale, long-term investment needed for decarbonization and resilience.
He proposes democratic and public strategies for directing investment, reshaping production, and rebuilding social institutions to meet climate and social justice goals.
The book synthesizes theory, policy proposals, and examples of institutional innovation to chart practicable pathways toward a greener, more democratic economy.
It positions ecological transformation as inseparable from questions of ownership and democratic control.
