Title: Plan B: Rescuing a Planet Under Stress and a Civilization in Trouble
Author: Brown, Lester R
ISBN: 9780393325232
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
Published: 2003
Binding: Paperback
Language: English
Publisher Description:
The wake-up call will come, Brown believes, when 1.3 billion Chinese consumers with an $80 billion trade surplus start competing with Americans for U.S. grain, driving up food prices. Rising food prices could create political instability in low-income countries, disrupting global economic progress.
At that point, it will be clear that business as usual--Plan A--is not working. In Plan B, Brown outlines a World War II-type mobilization to stabilize climate by restructuring the global energy economy and to stabilize population by investing heavily in health care, family planning, and the education of girls in developing countries.
