"Examines how climate science, the policy-world, and neoliberalism have mutually informed and co-constituted each other in order to define the problem of climate change as one of 'market failure' - a diagnosis that implicitly restricts the imaginable solutions and concomitant policy debates to ones about how to adjust, improve, or otherwise rationalize the market. This book traces the history through which politics and science have intertwined and informed each other in order to confine debates about how to tackle climate change in ways that pre-empt any possibilities other than market-based solutions.
