Editorial Reviews
Review
"Austin Williams has a gift for lobbing well-directed grenades."

-- Philippe Legrain, author 'Immigrants: Your Country Needs Them'

"This is not a book about climate change, which is refreshing. It's too easy to see environmentalism as a political movement that has generated its
own momentum, albeit preying on fears by amplifying facts from environmental science. Instead, the book shows that it is 'the poverty of ambition in
political life' that the dynamic driving the sustainability agenda."

-- Ben Pile ― Culture Wars

"A much needed diagnosis of the bleak anti-human pathology sometimes described as environmentalism."

-- Dominic Lawson, columnist for The Independent

"Offers some interesting insights and questions to explore if we are to properly understand the stranglehold sustainability has over society... and
how we might cut loose from it. For those excited about the potential of humanity to shape the world, Williams' book is a refreshing and useful
polemic."

-- Tony Gilland ― IPA Review

"Williams... identifies radical environmentalists as 'enemies of progress' who have fundamentally turned away from human development and
advancement."

-- Peter Pesic ― Times Literary Supplement

"Serve[s] as a corrective to unthinking acceptance of green arguments."

-- David Lorimer ― Network Review

"A well argued humanist alternative to the present conformist consensus - a very persuasive contribution by a thoughtful subversive."

-- Frank Furedi, Professor of Sociology at University of Kent, and author of 'Politics of Fear' and ‘Where Have All the Intellectuals Gone’

"Whatever your opinions on building sustainably, this book is a must-read, questioning the march towards carbon zero and giving a refreshing
alternative to the green agenda."

-- Lucy Dixon ― Professional Housebuilder and Property Developer
