Zusammenfassung:I compare a new book by young climate activist Daniel Sherrell, published in August 2021, the same month the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released its most recent report, to the famous 1930 essay by John Maynard Keynes "Economic Possibilities of Our Grandchildren." Keynes's exceedingly optimistic view of the future is contrasted with Sherrell's smart, sober, and respectful memoir about the end of the world. Economists, writers, and activists do what they can to bring the future forward to the present.
