ESG Empire: Mark Carney, Climate Finance, and the Weaponization of Green Capital
Mark Carney, Climate Finance, and the Weaponization of Green Capital
By James A. Powell
What if climate finance isn't about saving the planet-but about consolidating power?
In ESG Empire, James A. Powell unravels how Mark Carney-former central banker turned climate czar-has used the global ESG movement to establish a new regime of economic control. Behind the fa ade of sustainability lies a powerful financial mechanism engineered to enforce compliance, direct capital flows, and reshape markets in the image of unelected elites.
Through a deep dive into Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) frameworks, this book exposes:
How Mark Carney leveraged the G7, BIS, and UN to push climate finance as global policy
Why ESG scores are a Trojan horse for corporate surveillance and ideological enforcement
The quiet rise of "green technocracy" and its role in post-democratic capitalism
How asset managers like BlackRock became political actors through ESG mandates
What programmable money and net-zero targets reveal about the future of private wealth
Whether you're in finance, politics, or just trying to understand why your savings, investments, and job prospects are being shaped by climate metrics-this is the missing manual to the new world order.
