Naomi Klein's international bestseller This Changes Everything is a must-read on our future one of the defining & most hopeful books of this era Forget everything you think you know about global warming It's not about carbon
- it's about capitalism The good news is that we can seize this crisis to transform our failed economic system & build something radically better Once a decade Naomi Klein writes a book that redefines its era No Logo did so for globalization The Shock Doctrine changed the way we think about austerity In This Changes Everything her most provocative & optimistic book yet Naomi Klein has upended the debate about the stormy era already upon us exposing the myths that are clouding the climate debate You have been told the market will save us when in fact the addiction to profit & growth is digging us in deeper every day You have been told it's impossible to get off fossil fuels when in fact we know exactly how to do it
- it just requires breaking every rule in the free-market playbook You have also been told that humanity is too greedy & selfish to rise to this challenge In fact all around the world the fight back is already succeeding in ways both surprising & inspiring It's about changing the world before the world changes so drastically that no one is safe Either we leap
- or we sink This Changes Everything is a book that will redefine our era' The most important book I've read all year
- perhaps in a decade crucially she leaves the reader with a sense of optimism' Stephanie Merritt Observer Books of the Year'A book of such ambition & consequence it is almost unreviewable The most momentous & contentious environmental book since Silent Spring' Rob Nixon The New York Times' Naomi is like a great doctor
