Naomi Klein

A Tenth Anniversary Edition of Naomi Klein's No Logo with a New Introduction by the AuthorNO LOGO was an international bestseller and "a movement bible" ( The New York Times ). Naomi Klein's second book, The Shock Doctrine , was hailed as a "master narrative of our time," and has over a million copies in print worldwide.In the last decade, No Logo has become an international phenomenon and a cultural manifesto for the critics of unfettered capitalism worldwide. As America faces a second economic depression, Klein's analysis of our corporate and branded world is as timely and powerful as ever.Equal parts cultural analysis, political manifesto, mall-rat memoir, and journalistic exposé, No Logo is the first book to put the new resistance into pop-historical and clear economic perspective. Naomi Klein tells a story of rebellion and self-determination in the face of our new branded world.

In an introduction to the concept of "disaster capitalism," the award-winning author of No Logo offers a revealing exposé of how the global "free market" has exploited crises, violence, and shock over the past three decades to promote radical privatization that benefits large corporations and powerful interest groups. 100,000 first printing.

The most important book yet from the author of the international bestseller The Shock Doctrine, a brilliant explanation of why the climate crisis challenges us to abandon the core “free market” ideology of our time, restructure the global economy, and remake our political systems.In short, either we embrace radical change ourselves or radical changes will be visited upon our physical world. The status quo is no longer an option.In This Changes Everything Naomi Klein argues that climate change isn’t just another issue to be neatly filed between taxes and health care. It’s an alarm that calls us to fix an economic system that is already failing us in many ways. Klein meticulously builds the case for how massively reducing our greenhouse emissions is our best chance to simultaneously reduce gaping inequalities, re-imagine our broken democracies, and rebuild our gutted local economies. She exposes the ideological desperation of the climate-change deniers, the messianic delusions of the would-be geoengineers, and the tragic defeatism of too many mainstream green initiatives. And she demonstrates precisely why the market has not—and cannot—fix the climate crisis but will instead make things worse, with ever more extreme and ecologically damaging extraction methods, accompanied by rampant disaster capitalism.Klein argues that the changes to our relationship with nature and one another that are required to respond to the climate crisis humanely should not be viewed as grim penance, but rather as a kind of gift—a catalyst to transform broken economic and cultural priorities and to heal long-festering historical wounds. And she documents the inspiring movements that have already begun this process: communities that are not just refusing to be sites of further fossil fuel extraction but are building the next, regeneration-based economies right now.Can we pull off these changes in time? Nothing is certain. Nothing except that climate change changes everything. And for a very brief time, the nature of that change is still up to us.

New York Times BestsellerNational Book Award LonglistPublishers Weekly Best Books of 2017“This is one attempt to uncover how we got to this surreal political moment. It is also an attempt to predict how, under cover of shocks and crises, it could get a lot worse. And it’s a plan for how, if we keep our heads, we might just be able to flip the script and arrive at a radically better future.”–From the Introduction Donald Trump’s takeover of the White House is a dangerous escalation in a world of cascading crises. His reckless agenda—including a corporate coup in government, aggressive scapegoating and warmongering, and sweeping aside climate science to set off a fossil fuel frenzy—will generate waves of disasters and shocks to the economy, national security, and the environment. Acclaimed journalist, activist, and bestselling author Naomi Klein has spent two decades studying political shocks, climate change, and “brand bullies.” From this unique perspective, she argues that Trump is not an aberration but a logical extension of the worst, most dangerous trends of the past half-century—the very conditions that have unleashed a rising tide of white nationalism the world over. It is not enough, she tells us, to merely resist, to say “no.” Our historical moment demands more: a credible and inspiring “yes,” a roadmap to reclaiming the populist ground from those who would divide us—one that sets a bold course for winning the fair and caring world we want and need. This timely, urgent book from one of our most influential thinkers offers a bracing positive shock of its own, helping us understand just how we got here, and how we can, collectively, come together and heal.

What if you woke up one morning and found you’d acquired another self―a double who was almost you and yet not you at all? What if that double shared many of your preoccupations but, in a twisted, upside-down way, furthered the very causes you’d devoted your life to fighting against?Not long ago, the celebrated activist and public intellectual Naomi Klein had just such an experience―she was confronted with a doppelganger whose views she found abhorrent but whose name and public persona were sufficiently similar to her own that many people got confused about who was who. Destabilized, she lost her bearings, until she began to understand the experience as one manifestation of a strangeness many of us have come to know but struggle to define: AI-generated text is blurring the line between genuine and spurious communication; New Age wellness entrepreneurs turned anti-vaxxers are scrambling familiar political allegiances of left and right; and liberal democracies are teetering on the edge of absurdist authoritarianism, even as the oceans rise. Under such conditions, reality itself seems to have become unmoored. Is there a cure for our moment of collective vertigo?Naomi Klein is one of our most trenchant and influential social critics, an essential analyst of what branding, austerity, and climate profiteering have done to our societies and souls. Here she turns her gaze inward to our psychic landscapes, and outward to the possibilities for building hope amid intersecting economic, medical, and political crises. With the assistance of Sigmund Freud, Jordan Peele, Alfred Hitchcock, and bell hooks, among other accomplices, Klein uses wry humor and a keen sense of the ridiculous to face the strange doubles that haunt us―and that have come to feel as intimate and proximate as a warped reflection in the mirror.Combining comic memoir with chilling reportage and cobweb-clearing analysis, Klein seeks to smash that mirror and chart a path beyond despair. Doppelganger What do we neglect as we polish and perfect our digital reflections? Is it possible to dispose of our doubles and overcome the pathologies of a culture of multiplication? Can we create a politics of collective care and undertake a true reckoning with historical crimes? The result is a revelatory treatment of the way many of us think and feel now―and an intellectual adventure story for our times.

#1 New York Times and internationally bestselling author Naomi Klein makes the case for a Green New Deal in this “keenly argued, well-researched, and impassioned” manifesto (The Washington Post).An instant bestseller, On Fire shows Klein at her most prophetic and philosophical, investigating the climate crisis not only as a profound political challenge but also as a spiritual and imaginative one. Delving into topics ranging from the clash between ecological time and our culture of “perpetual now,” to the soaring history of humans changing and evolving rapidly in the face of grave threats, to rising white supremacy and fortressed borders as a form of “climate barbarism,” this is a rousing call to action for a planet on the brink. An expansive, far-ranging exploration that sees the battle for a greener world as indistinguishable from the fight for our lives, On Fire captures the burning urgency of the climate crisis, as well as the fiery energy of a rising political movement demanding a catalytic Green New Deal. “Naomi Klein’s work has always moved and guided me. She is the great chronicler of our age of climate emergency, an inspirer of generations.” —Greta Thunberg, climate activist "If I were a rich man, I’d buy 245 million copies of Naomi Klein’s 'On Fire' and hand-deliver them to every eligible voter in America…Klein is a skilled writer." —Jeff Goodell, The New York Times

On January 20, 2017, over 1,000 people joined Haymarket Books, Jacobin, and Verso Books in Washington, D.C. for "The Anti-Inauguration." With powerful speeches from Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, Naomi Klein, Jeremy Scahill, Anand Gopal, and Owen Jones, the event was a counterpoint to Donald Trump's (poorly attended) inauguration. It also served as a counter-inauguration for the resistance we need in the era of Trump — and a reminder of the kind of future worth fighting for.

Le changement climatique s'est aggravé à tel point que les jeunes générations grandissent en sachant que la Terre ne sera plus habitable dans quelques décennies. Du moins plus pour tous. À cet état de la planète, une partie de la jeunesse répond par l'engagement et la lutte : le mouvement mondial qui vise à freiner le changement climatique est en marche avec, pour credo, un avenir équitable et vivable pour tous. Naomi Klein brosse son portrait ici et là, nous informe sans relâche sur les réchauffeurs et partage ses outils politiques - parce qu'instaurer une véritable justice climatique et sociale requiert de tout changer.

Le dérèglement climatique tue. Il bouleverse des centaines de millions de vies, à commencer par celles des plus pauvres et des plus fragiles. Pour que notre planète reste vivable, près de 80 % des réserves d’énergies fossiles actuellement connues doivent demeurer inexploitées.Nous n’en prenons nullement le chemin. Les négociations dans le cadre de la Conférence des Nations Unies sur le climat de Paris s’annoncent comme un échec : les États abandonnent l’objectif de tout faire pour rester sous le seuil d’une augmentation maximale de la température de + 2 °C au-delà duquel les pires scénarios deviennent possibles.C’est pourquoi la société civile mondiale lance aujourd’hui un appel à la mobilisation, et à construire un vaste mouvement qui refonde nos sociétés.Ce livre porte la voix de personnalités du monde entier, de chercheurs conscients de l’impasse actuelle, mais aussi celle d’innombrables victimes, réfugiés climatiques et collectifs en lutte contre la machine à réchauffer la planète. Tous nous rappellent la réalité du réchauffement climatique en cours, les souffrances et les inégalités qu’il produit et nous montrent les voies pour sortir de l’âge des fossiles.Avec les contributions de Naomi Klein, Vandana Shiva, Jean Jouzel, Susan George, Desmond Tutu, Bill McKibben, Geneviève Azam, Pablo Solon...

Hay valores éticos y morales en toda actividad científica, aún el al selección de los conceptos que figuran en estudios de alto contenido técnico. El concepto de riesgo no se puede aislar del ámbito político y ético. El determinar cuales riesgos son aceptables y cuales no lo son no se puede dejar en manos de corporaciones transnacionales, elites de científicos o -peor aún- autodenominadas vanguardias izquierdistas. Tales decisiones conciernen a la humanidad entera, ya que se trata de decisiones sobre qué clase de sociedad queremos crear y en qué clase de mundo queremos vivir.

El mundo en que vivimos está roto. Naomi Klein propone que concibamos esta época como los años de reparación, para dar forma a las prioridades colectivas en materia de asistencia, reconstrucción, trabajo, educación, comunicación e incluso celebra- ción y así reparar la infraestructura destruida, reparar el daño causado al mundo natural y repa- rar, también, las historias erróneas de supremacía y dominio que nos trajeron hasta aquí.La biblioteca masa crítica pone a disposición de las lectoras y los lectores un conjunto de textos esenciales para interpretar las nervaduras del presente y desplegar las capacidades colectivas para transformarlo.

Den 27 december 2008 utbröt helvetet. När ingen trodde att det kunde bli värre, när tre års total isolering gjort livet i Gaza outhärdligt, när livet gått vidare trots hopplösheten, då slog den israeliska armén till. Då störtade bombplanen fram. Då drabbas Gaza av tjugotvå sömnlösa nätter.Med världen som vittne smulade världens fjärde största armé sönder ett försvarslöst landsstycke. Trots otaliga berättelser om Gazakrigets fasor har händelsen fallit i mediebrusets skugga och har nu förvandlats till ännu en tragisk episod i det palestinska folkets tunga historia. En episod som världen utanför Gaza tycks ha lämnat bakom sig.Men Gazas folk fortsätter att leva. För att vi inte ska glömma, rycka på axlarna åt och för att vi ska ta ställning för det devalverade människovärdet har denna bok satts samman. En bok med vittnesmål, tankar och analyser skrivna av människor bosatta i och utanför Gaza med ett engagemang i Palestinas befrielse.

Mercredi 20 janvier 2021 : des millions de personnes de par le monde s'installent confortablement derrière leur(s) écran(s) pour v regarder Joe Biden lever la main et prêter serment lors de son investiture comme 46e président des États-Unis. Pourtant, c'est une autre image qui va rester et en quelques heures faire plusieurs fois le tour du monde : celle d'un vieil homme assis sur sa chaise, trompant le froid avec une vieille paire de moufles, laquelle ne fait pas semblant de jurer avec le décorum. Cet homme, c'est Bernie Sanders, candidat malheureux à la primaire démocrate, au programme politique autrement plus radical que celui du vainqueur. Immédiatement, les réseaux sociaux s'emparent de cette image à la portée symbolique plus forte qu'il n'y paraît pour en tirer l'un des mèmes les plus réjouissants depuis l'invention d'internet. Florilège. En introduction du livre, un court texte de Naomi Klein livre la portée politique de ce geste mondial.
