Rebecca Henderson is a Harvard Professor and writes about how free market capitalism has created great innovation and prosperity but is also the source of inequality and a driver of global climate change.
She proposes a framework for how private businesses and public actors should cooperate to fix what's broken: Help establish the right incentives to act more sustainably.
The strongest key idea is: "there's a great business case for saving the world". Even the most shareholder value-focused investor will have to realize that climate chaos will ruin economic opportunities.
Super interesting to read and she points out a lot that's broken, but her writing still remains hopeful with an optimistic tone.
