Synopsis
Climate change is often framed as an environmental problem.
In reality, it is an economic system problem shaped by incentives, prices, institutions, and risk.
The Economics of Climate Change: Markets, Externalities, and the Cost of Delay examines climate change through the tools of modern economic analysis—externalities, public goods, carbon pricing, technological change, and welfare trade-offs. Drawing on empirical research, historical case studies, and policy models used by governments and international organizations, this book explains why emissions persist, why delay increases costs, and how carefully designed markets and institutions can reduce risk while preserving growth.
Readers will explore how industrialization raised global prosperity while increasing atmospheric CO₂ from roughly 280 ppm to over 420 ppm; how extreme weather losses now exceed hundreds of billions of dollars annually; why the social cost of carbon is central to policy design; and how carbon taxes, cap-and-trade systems, innovation policy, and adaptation strategies interact across global economies. The analysis connects energy markets, financial risk, inequality, and technological transition, showing how climate change affects prices, wages, investment decisions, and long-term development.
Written in a rigorous but accessible style, the book integrates insights from environmental economics, macroeconomics, public finance, and political economy. Each chapter presents frameworks used in real policy debates, explains the assumptions behind climate models, and evaluates trade-offs between mitigation, adaptation, and growth. Special attention is given to the economics of delay: why postponing action raises total costs, increases volatility, and shifts burdens across generations.
For students, policymakers, investors, and readers seeking a deeper understanding of climate policy, this book offers a structured guide to the incentives that drive emissions and the tools that can reshape them. Climate change is not only a scientific challenge; it is a question of institutional design and economic coordination.
Understanding the system is the first step toward changing it.

About the Author
Charles Jensen Jr. is an independent researcher and interdisciplinary author whose work examines the economic, psychological, and institutional forces that shape modern life. His writing spans topics such as inflation, creative destruction, electricity markets, welfare economics, gendered labor costs, cognitive overload, interpersonal psychology, and the structural pressures embedded in contemporary social systems. Across this wide thematic range, Jensen approaches each subject with a consistent methodological commitment to academic rigor: empirical data, historical case studies, formal economic frameworks, and cross-referenced arguments that connect his books into a single research ecosystem. His series—including titles such as The Economics of Inflation, The Economics of Creative Destruction, The Cost of Being Different, The Cost of Being a Man, and The Psychology of Interpersonal Relationships—is designed not as isolated commentary but as a cumulative inquiry into how institutions, incentives, and culture interact to produce measurable outcomes in human lives.
Jensen's work is centered on comparative institutional analysis and applied micro- and macroeconomic reasoning. Drawing on the intellectual traditions of scholars such as Coase, Arrow, Samuelson, and Schumpeter, he examines how public goods problems, information asymmetries, market failures, and governance constraints influence both economic performance and psychological well-being. His books integrate insights from behavioral economics, sociology, finance, and public policy to analyze questions ranging from housing affordability and financial stress to identity formation, social norms, and labor market dynamics. Throughout his research, Jensen emphasizes the importance of measurable indicators—credit growth, productivity trends, labor participation rates, demographic changes, and price indexes—as tools for understanding complex systems rather than relying on slogans or ideology.
