This Week: Break Through
Welcome to TPMCafe's Book Club table. This week we're hosting a discussion of Ted Nordhaus and Michael Shellenberger's new book, Break Through: From the Death of Environmentalism to the Politics of Possibility.
In their book, part of which was excerpted in a recent issue of The New Republic, Nordhaus and Shellenberger argue that the traditional environmentalist movement stands in the way of the innovation and experimentation needed to produce effective responses to the climate crisis. The authors join us this week to discuss their argument.
Joining them in the discussion will be William Chaloupka, Ross Gelbspan, Linda Hirshman, Carl Pope, David Roberts, and Joseph Romm.
Previous Book Club discussions have covered the work of Thomas Frank, Anthony Shadid, Larry Diamond, George Packer, Ivo Daalder/James Lindsay, Robert Dreyfuss, Chris Mooney, Gene Sperling, Gershom Gorenberg, Peter Beinart, Kevin Phillips, Sidney Blumenthal, Reed Hundt, Anne-Marie Slaughter, John Ikenberry, Jonathan Cohn, Daniel Gross, Steven Cook, Chris Hayes, Josh Kurlantzick, Glenn Greenwald, Todd Gitlin, Jonathan Chait, Greg Anrig, Jr., Matt Bai, and Katha Pollitt.
