O knihe

“Climate change and reproductive injustice are not parallel crises but deeply intertwined forces that erode the foundations of family, community, and economic prosperity, as Dr. Sarah Haley Knowles shows in this essential analysis. Practitioners, policymakers, and scholars committed to sustainable equity and systemic justice will benefit from this set of actionable frameworks to advance sustainable prosperity and family well-being.”
—Elizabeth Stearns, Professor of Sociology, Director of the Public Policy program, University of North Carolina at Charlotte, USA

“Dr. Sarah Haley Knowles presents a timely, values-driven framework that reclaims market logic for the public good—reminding us that any sustainable future must be rooted in community, health, and the right to self-determination. Her model of Engage, Evolve, Enhance, and Expand offers a pragmatic and principled path forward in an era of compounding crisis.”
—Robert Pinka, Director of Impact & Policy, Council for Children’s Rights, USA

This book explores the relationship between climate change, reproductive justice, and the prosperity of families, communities, and economies. Bringing together critical analyses of historical white feminism, classical economics, and corporate success models, it argues that traditional approaches to prosperity are ineffective and irrelevant due to climate change and offers a new prosperity model based on a four-part test to promote, protect, and advance the health and long-term viability of families, communities, economies, and ecosystems. Alongside these findings, the book shines a light on the hypocrisy of the modern feminist movement that sacrifices the prosperity of low-income women of color to leverage the corporate success model of prosperity for the white elite, which is ultimately what is most responsible for climate change. It will be of interest to researchers in gender studies, feminist theory, environmental sociology, sustainability studies, and social policy.

Sarah Haley Knowles is a corporate sustainability and environmental, social, and governance strategist. She received her PhD in Public Policy at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and her MBA at Drake University, USA.
