Yep ^^ and I cringe at how the market ideology changed the narrative from a country of citizens to a country of consumers. What collective action problem has the market solved in the modern era? Poverty? Hunger? Pollution? Fisheries collapse? None of the above. The market needs help even in its home building the financial markets!
That being said I also believe it is too late for collective action to prevent the worst of climate change. Ie the conservatives are correct when they say other parts of the world will simply replace whatever emissions we cut.
There is no happy ending on climate change.
