The Earth is Not for Sale informs its readers and provides well-documented solutions in a bid to inspire readers to think critically, and potentially become more active in society..
Drawing on their own and many Other scholar\'s research, they reject a reliance on the \'business as usual\' approach trusting the capitalist market and existing global institutions, and provide an accessible popular account with thoroughly footnoted endnotes That contain technical details and references to the scientific literature.
The authors provoke readers to face up to these challenges by demonstrating how people, all over the world, have already begun this effort through collective action ranging from the local to the global community.
Clarity is brought to the political economic obstacles standing in the way as well as the false solutions and alleged barriers That pervade the discourse thereby delaying and obstructing progress to the solutions advanced.
The authors find these solutions in the arenas of renewable energy systems, agroecological methods, and reimagined social organization.
