The Green New Deal: Why We Need It and Can't Live Without It...And No, It's Not Socialism!

300 pages. This is not a dry, academic book about the environment. Instead, Larry Jordan offers a timely, well-researched and balanced look at the imperatives of a Green New Deal: what it is, and why we can’t live without it. He exposes the rightwing’s long history of waging sinister disinformation campaigns to protect corporate profits by attacking as “socialist” anything that actually helps people. The book reveals overlooked details in the Mueller report about how persons tied to Russian intelligence have influenced Donald Trump’s environmental policies. Jordan sets the context for the current debate by exploring the rich, colorful history of our continent since the arrival of Columbus, all the way up to present day, and recounting what some of our Presidents have done on a bipartisan basis to preserve our nation’s diverse ecosystem. (Would you believe Richard Nixon ranks as one of our best environmental Presidents and George W. Bush one of the worst?) There are compelling chapters
