Book Talk: “Why Carbon Taxes Failed” with author Daniel Driscoll

Join the Center for Labor and a Just Economy for a book talk with Daniel Driscoll, author of “Why Carbon Taxes Failed,” moderated by Max Kiefel, Associate Director of Innovation at CLJE. This book interrogates the foundational flaw of carbon tax policymaking. Drawing on global archives and conversations with policymakers and activists, Driscoll argues that carbon taxes failed because they relied on a politics of wishful thinking: governments hoped a simple market signal would save them from the unavoidable job of strategic investment, hard choices, and planning for the future with eyes wide open.

Lunch will be served. Please RSVP at tinyurl.com/DriscollHLS.
