Why the West Rules--For Now: The Patterns of History, and What They Reveal about the Future
Ian MorrisGernot WagnerI swore in 2010, when I read this passage in Ian Morris's "Why the West Rules—For Now," that I'd revisit this thought regularly. It's been a dozen years, and the odds look bad indeed. https://t.co/Psz3ZHQ0p4

Jonathan Safran FoerGernot Wagner@daniel_huppmann @TheEconomist And yes, of course, cut your own meat consumption (ideally to zero) for all sorts of good reasons. (Check Jonathan Safran Foer's Eating Animals for the most compelling reasons I've seen for why not to eat them.) But: for climate reasons, it's precisely about the policy push.
