DESCRIPTION:Using evidence from the acceleration of change over the past t
 wo decades\, Transforming Energy Systems: Economics\, Policies and Change 
 (Elgar 2021) examines the market developments and policies that advance an
 d guide innovation and deployment of low-carbon alternatives to present fo
 ssil fuel use. It makes a compelling case for heterodox energy reform stra
 tegies—including market-creating industrial policies sequenced with emis
 sions pricing differentiated by sector—to address key market imperfectio
 ns that can hold back the advance of low-carbon alternatives. These imperf
 ections include knowledge spillovers from innovation and cost/profit spill
 overs from early deployment\, as well distributional impacts and risk of t
 ime-inconsistent policies. The book also examines the infrastructure\, ins
 titutional and regulatory reforms needed to accelerate change and bring wi
 thin reach societal net-zero-emission goals to stabilize the climate.\nSpe
