“The Green New Deal, broadly speaking, involves large-scale spending and investment in the promotion of renewable energy and electric cars. By creating stable, high-paying employment and therefore more effective demand, these measures are also meant to stimulate the economy. The expectation is that improved business conditions would lead to greater investment, which would spur the transition to a sustainable green economy.” (SAITŌ, 2024, Cap. 2)
O Green New Deal remete a um novo New Deal, i.e. medidas keynesianas — ou seja, foco em Políticas Fiscais — que busquem fomentar a economia pela Demanda Efetiva, i.e. através do fomento de Investimentos (diminuindo Desemprego), porém com um foco “verde”, “sustentável”.
