Brought to you by Penguin. Naomi Klein, author of the #1 international bestsellers, The Shock Doctrine and No Logo, returns with This Changes Everything, a must-read on how the climate crisis needs to spur transformational political change 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 existential crisis to transform our failed economic system and build something radically better. In her most provocative book yet, Naomi Klein, author of the global bestsellers The Shock Doctrine and No Logo, tackles the most profound threat humanity has ever faced: the war our economic model is waging against life on earth. Klein exposes the myths that are clouding the climate debate. You have been told the market will save us, when in fact the addiction to profit and 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: reining in corporate power, rebuilding local economies and reclaiming our democracies. You have also been told that humanity is too greedy and selfish to rise to this challenge. In fact, all around the world, the fight back for the next economy is already succeeding in ways both surprising and inspiring. Climate change, Klein argues, is a civilizational wake-up call, a powerful message delivered in the language of fires, floods, storms, and droughts. Confronting it is no longer about changing the light bulbs. It's about changing the world - before the world changes so drastically that no one is safe. Either we leap - or we sink. 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. This Changes Everything is about to upend the debate about the stormy era already upon us. ??? Naomi Klein 2014 (P) Penguin Audio 2021

Seems like civilization was always running into wilderness. Seems like about 1836 civilization began to run out of wilderness. If Biosphere ran out of air first, science, up until now has always been trumped by politics. Duck, cover, plant a flower for the bees, dig in. Don't give and inch. They never bring it up unless they want to cut it in half.

Read this important book!
For Earth to remain habitable by humans, our communities and governments must take strong action soon. Klein explains why, reveals how free-market ideology and global corporate control stand in the way, and describes actions we can take -- actions some people are already taking -- to preserve the planet for our children and grandchildren.
