But Will the Planet Notice? How Smart Economics Can Save the World

6:00 p.m.

A book launch for Gernot Wagner’s But Will the Planet Notice? How Smart Economics Can Save the World will be held on Tuesday, November 1.

Gernot Wagner is an economist at the Environmental Defense Fund. A graduate of Harvard and Stanford, he teaches at Columbia.

In But Will the Planet Notice? Wagner explains why fish are dying, why eagles aren’t, and why only economists—not recyclers—can stop global warming. Wagner argues that in our confrontation with climate change, species loss, and a planet “going off the cliff,” what makes a difference isn’t science, politics, or even activism—it’s smarter economics.
