What Robin Hood Tells Us about Confronting the Climate Crisis

How wealth affects the path to energy solutions, cultural needs, and climate challenges is the core issue of our time, and the central concern of Bruce Piasecki’s 22nd book, <italic>Wealth and Climate Competitiveness</italic> (Rodin Press, Simon and Schuster 2024). The adapted excerpt focuses on how the tale of Robin Hood tells us how to compete in a world of climate and carbon and capital constraints. As the former chief of staff of bp, Dominic Emery, notes: “We can hear the nascent tales of today becoming the truisms of tomorrow” in the books and work of Bruce Piasecki.
