#1 NATIONAL BESTELLER • Shortlisted for the 2024 Women''s Prize for Non-Fiction • Finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award for Criticism • Shortlisted for the Hubert Evans Non-Fiction Prize • A New York Times Notable Book • Vulture’s #1 Book of Year • A Guardian Best Ideas Book of the Year 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? “If I had to name a single book that makes sense of these last few dark years, it would be this one.” ―Katie Roiphe, The New York Times Book Review (Editors’ Choice) Not long ago, 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 similar enough to her own that many people confused her for the other. For a vertiginous moment, she lost her bearings. And then she got interested, in a reality that seems to be warping and doubling like a digital hall of mirrors. It’s happening in our politics as New Age wellness entrepreneurs turned anti-vaxxers find common cause with fire-breathing far right propagandists (all in the name of protecting “the children”). It’s happening in our culture as AI gobbles up music, paintings, fiction and everything in between and spits out imitations that threaten to overtake the originals. And it’s happening to many of us as individuals as we create digital doubles of ourselves, filtered and curated just so for all the other duplicates to see. An award-winning journalist, bestselling author, public intellectual and activist, Naomi Klein writes books that orient us in our time. She has offered essential accounts of what branding, austerity, and climate profiteering have done to our societies and souls. Now, as liberal democracies teeter on the edge, Klein takes aim at absurdist authoritarianism, using a keen sense of the ridiculous to face the doubles that haunt us. Part tragicomic memoir, part chilling reportage and cobweb-clearing analysis, Doppelganger invites readers on a wild ride, smashing through the mirror world, charting a path beyond despair towards true solidarity.

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.

A Tenth Anniversary Edition of Naomi Klein''s No Logo with a New Introduction by the Author NO 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.

#1 international and New York Times bestselling author Naomi Klein, author of The Shock Doctrine and This Changes Everything, makes the case for a Green New Deal—explaining how bold climate action can be a blueprint for a just and thriving society. For more than twenty years, Naomi Klein has been the foremost chronicler of the economic war waged on both people and planet—and an unapologetic champion of a sweeping environmental agenda with justice at its center. In lucid, elegant dispatches from the frontlines of contemporary natural disaster, she pens surging, indispensable essays for a wide public: prescient advisories and dire warnings of what future awaits us if we refuse to act, as well as hopeful glimpses of a far better future. On Fire: The (Burning) Case for a Green New Deal gathers for the first time more than a decade of her impassioned writing, and pairs it with new material on the staggeringly high stakes of our immediate political and economic choices. These long-form essays show Klein at her most prophetic and philosophical, investigating the climate crisis not only as a profound political challenge but as a spiritual and imaginative one, as well. 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. With reports spanning from the ghostly Great Barrier Reef, to the annual smoke-choked skies of the Pacific Northwest, to post-hurricane Puerto Rico, to a Vatican attempting an unprecedented “ecological conversion,” Klein makes the case that we will rise to the existential challenge of climate change only if we are willing to transform the systems that produced this crisis. 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.

#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the author of No Logo—the gripping story of how America’s “free market” polices exploited crises and shock for three decades from Pinochet’s coup in Chile in 1973 to the "War on Terror." In her groundbreaking reporting, Naomi Klein introduced the term "disaster capitalism." Whether covering Baghdad after the U.S. occupation, Sri Lanka in the wake of the tsunami, or New Orleans post-Katrina, she witnessed something remarkably similar. People still reeling from catastrophe were being hit again, this time with economic "shock treatment," losing their land and homes to rapid-fire corporate makeovers. The Shock Doctrine retells the story of one the most dominant ideologies of our time: Milton Friedman''s free market economic revolution. In contrast to the popular myth of this movement''s peaceful global victory, Klein shows how it has exploited moments of shock and extreme violence in order to implement its economic policies in so many parts of the world from Latin America and Eastern Europe to South Africa, Russia, and Iraq. At the core of disaster capitalism is the use of cataclysmic events to advance radical privatization combined with the privatization of the disaster response itself. Klein argues that by capitalizing on crises, created by nature or war, the disaster capitalism complex now exists as a booming new economy, and is the violent culmination of a radical economic project that has been incubating for fifty years.

The New York Times–bestselling roadmap to resistance in the Trump era from the internationally acclaimed activist and author of On Fire and The Battle for Paradise. The election of Donald Trump is a dangerous escalation in a world of cascading crises. Trump’s vision—a radical deregulation of the US economy in the interest of corporations, an all-out war on “radical Islamic terrorism,” and a sweeping aside of climate science to unleash a domestic fossil fuel frenzy—will generate wave after wave of crises and shocks, to the economy, to national security, to the environment. In No Is Not Enough, Naomi Klein explains that Trump, extreme as he is, is not an aberration but a logical extension of the worst and most dangerous trends of the past half-century. In exposing the malignant forces behind Trump’s rise, she puts forward a bold vision for a mass movement to counter rising militarism, nationalism, and corporatism in the United States and around the world. Longlisted for the National Book Award “I hope that Klein’s book is read by more than just her (mostly) leftwing fan base. For whatever you think about her economic arguments, she makes a powerful and an important point: that you cannot understand Trump without looking at how he reflects bigger cultural and social dynamics. And what is perhaps refreshing about No Is Not Enough is that Klein tries to move beyond mere outrage and hand-wringing to offer a practical manifesto for opposition.” —Financial Times “Brims with ideas rarely heard in the mainstream media. And her fiery, punchy writing style, which is occasionally laced with humor, makes it hard to put down.” —The Georgia Straight

“[A] uniquely inclusive perspective that will inspire conviction, passion, and action.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) An empowering, engaging young readers guide to understanding and battling climate change from the expert and bestselling author of This Changes Everything and On Fire, Naomi Klein.

Full of empowering stories of young leaders all over the world, this information-packed book from award-winning journalist and one of the foremost voices for climate justice, Naomi Klein, offers young readers a comprehensive look at the state of the climate today and how we got here, while also providing the tools they need to join this fight to protect and reshape the planet they will inherit.

Fences and Windows: Dispatches from the Front Lines of the Globalization Debate brings together two years of Naomi Klein’s writings and tracks the globalization conflict from Seattle to September 11th and beyond. Since the publication of No Logo, Naomi Klein has continued tirelessly as a brilliant and informed contributor to contemporary debate. Fences and Windows: Dispatches from the Front Lines of the Globalization Debate, intended as a companion to No Logo, includes her most notable essays, speeches and articles on issues from NAFTA to Genetically Modified Organisms to the violence in Genoa. It offers introduction and explanation, looking at where the movement has come from and where it is going. More than any other single voice, Naomi Klein articulates the concerns and complaints of a generation: about economic fundamentalism, the criminalization of dissent and the effects of Free Trade. But this book also reflects on the nature of resistance: the street protests that shocked and energized millions, carnival-style subversion and the apparent disorganization that is anti-globalization’s great strength. Fences and Windows: Dispatches from the Front Lines of the Globalization Debate is provocative, intelligent and passionate, a document, in its own right, of a unique time in our history.

Fearless necessary reporting . . . Klein exposes the ‘battle of utopias’ that is currently unfolding in storm-ravaged Puerto Rico” (Junot Díaz, author of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao) “We are in a fight for our lives. Hurricanes Irma and María unmasked the colonialism we face in Puerto Rico, and the inequality it fosters, creating a fierce humanitarian crisis. Now we must find a path forward to equality and sustainability, a path driven by communities, not investors. And this book explains, with careful and unbiased reporting, only the efforts of our community activists can answer the paramount question: What type of society do we want to become and who is Puerto Rico for?” —Carmen Yulín Cruz, Mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico In the rubble of Hurricane Maria, Puerto Ricans and ultrarich “Puertopians” are locked in a pitched struggle over how to remake the island. In this vital and startling investigation, bestselling author and activist Naomi Klein uncovers how the forces of shock politics and disaster capitalism seek to undermine the nation’s radical, resilient vision for a “just recovery.” All royalties from the sale of this book in English and Spanish go directly to JunteGente, a gathering of Puerto Rican organizations resisting disaster capitalism and advancing a fair and healthy recovery for their island. “Klein chronicles the extraordinary grassroots resistance by the Puerto Rican people against neoliberal privatization and Wall Street greed in the aftermath of the island’s financial meltdown, of hurricane devastation, and of Washington’s imposition of an outside control board over the most important U.S. colony.” —Juan González, cohost of Democracy Now! and author of Harvest of Empire: A History of Latinos in America

No Logo, el anterior bestseller de Naomi Klein traducido a veintitrés idiomas, daba forma a las preocupaciones de toda una generación y constituía la crónica de un nuevo movimiento. Tras el éxito de este libro, Klein ha seguido contribuyendo incansablemente al actual debate sobre la globalización, su impacto y su futuro, hasta dar forma al presente volumen, en el que se reflejan dos años de su vida particularmente intensos, vividos entre manifestaciones multitudinarias e informes realizados en primera línea de fuego. Con todo ello nos pone al día de todas las iniciativas de cambio y de sus posibilidades, de las esperanzas y de los obstáculos que se deben superar. Para conseguirlo recopila sus artículos y conferencias más importantes, la mayoría de estas últimas inéditas hasta el momento, y el resultado es, de nuevo, una reflexión sobre la resistencia en el mundo actual: protestas callejeras que arrastran a miles de jóvenes, actividades subversivas a través de los nuevos medios de comunicación, movimientos que ocultan una enorme fuerza tras su aparente desorganización... Provocativo, inteligente y apasionado, Vallas y ventanas es una guía para la supervivencia en la economía de hoy, un análisis de la globalización y sus consecuencias, así como un documento sobre una época única en la historia.

Encara és possible revertir la crisi ecològica que amenaça el nostre planeta La famosa periodista americana Naomi Klein ofereix un manifiest de rebel·lió contra la crisi ecològica i climàtica a què estem abocant el nostre planeta. Repàs al passat, el present i el futur de les accions depredadores de l''home contra la natura, i es dirigeix especialment als joves fent una crida a l''acció, ja que no només formen part d''un moviment de canvi, sinó que el poden liderar, tal com ho demuestra el cas de Greta Thunberg.

"Un llibre brillant, valent i esgarrifós, la història secreta de l''anomenat mercat lliure. Hauria de ser de lectura obligatòria"Arundhati Roy Coneguda i respectada gràcies a No Logo (labutxaca, 2008), el seu esplèndid assaig sobre la globalització, Naomi Klein destrueix detalladament, a La doctrina del xoc, el mite segons el qual «els mercats lliures» condueixen a «societats lliures». L''autora ens revela, amb rigor acadèmic i molta documentació, que el nostre món està cada dia més al servei d''una ideologia poc coneguda però terriblement influent, la doctrina del xoc, i ens narra la història no oficial de com el lliure mercat ha arribat a dominar el nostre món. Des de les dictadures dels anys setanta a Sud Amèrica, passant per la guerra de les Malvines, els fets de la plaça de Tiananmen i el col·lapse de la Unió Soviètica, Naomi Klein reinterpreta el nostre passat per identificar l''ascens d''allò que ella anomena el capitalisme del desastre, un programa d''enginyeria social i econòmica que progressa a través del xoc, i ens mostra les verdaderes creences que s''amaguen darrere de les polítiques globals.La doctrina del xoc és el relat aterridor de com el lliure mercat avança de manera desbocada en aquelles societats massa terroritzades o desorientades per protegir els seus interessos però, sobretot, és la història real del nostre present, tot allò que els governs del primer món ens amaguen i no volen que coneguem.

La doctrina del shock es la historia no oficial del libre mercado. Desde Chile hasta Rusia, desde Sudáfrica hasta Canadá la implantación del libre mercado responde a un programa de ingeniería social y económica que Naomi Klein identifica como «capitalismo del desastre». Tras una investigación de cuatro años, Klein explora el mito según el cual el mercado libre y global triunfó democráticamente, y que el capitalismo sin restricciones va de la mano de la democracia. Por el contrario, Klein sostiene que ese capitalismo utiliza constantemente la violencia, el choque, y pone al descubierto los hilos que mueven las marionetas tras los acontecimientos más críticos de las últimas cuatro décadas. Klein demuestra que el capitalismo emplea constantemente la violencia, el terrorismo contra el individuo y la sociedad. Lejos de ser el camino hacia la libertad, se aprovecha de las crisis para introducir impopulares medidas de choque económico, a menudo acompañadas de otras forma de shock no tan metafóricas: el golpe de la prra de los policías, las torturas con electroshocks o la picana en las celdas de las cárceles. En este relato apasionante, narrado con pulso firme, Klein repasa la historia mundial reciente (de la dictadura de Pinochet a la reconstrucción de Beirut; del Katrina al tsunami; del 11-S al 11-M, para dar la palabra a un único protagonista: las diezmadas poblaciones civiles sometidas a la voracidad despiadada de los nuevos dueños del mundo, el conglomerado industrial, comercial y gubernamental para quien los desastres, las guerras y la inseguridad del ciudadano son el siniestro combustible de la economía del shock.

Al zo''n 25 jaar legt Naomi Klein als geen ander de harde werkelijkheid achter onze cultuur en politiek bloot. In haar internationale bestsellers schrijft ze over de gevolgen van branding, van bezuinigingen, en van de uitbuiting van de planeet op onze samenleving en op onze ziel. Haar nieuwe boek brengt alles waar ze tot nu toe over schreef bij elkaar. Dubbelganger is persoonlijker. Met humor en zelfinzicht doet Klein verslag van haar groeiende obsessie met een andere publieke intellectueel. Deze vrouw heeft dezelfde voornaam als zij en houdt zich bezig met dezelfde thematiek. Geen wonder dat de twee stelselmatig door elkaar worden gehaald. Alleen heeft deze dubbelganger in de loop der tijd een andere, extremistische afslag genomen en propageert ze tegenwoordig alles wat Naomi Klein al haar hele leven bestrijdt. Hoe heeft deze vrouw zo kunnen worden? En waarom zijn zo veel van onze naasten net als zij vertrokken naar een onnavolgbare realiteit, die toch angstwekkend veel lijkt op de onze? Klein gaat op zoek naar een antwoord in deze ‘Spiegelwereld’ van wellness-rechts, complotdenkers en populisten. Maar uiteindelijk leert een blik in de spiegel ons natuurlijk vooral iets over onszelf. Klein richt haar blik naar binnen, naar onze collectieve geestestoestand, maar ook naar buiten, waar de klimaat-, economische, medische, en politieke crises van deze tijd overal in elkaar grijpen. Zo eindigt wat begon als het verslag van een persoonlijke obsessie als een briljante politieke en culturele analyse. Bovenal is Dubbelganger een zoektocht naar een uitweg uit de Spiegelwereld, een manier om – verenigd en solidair – de wanhoop en de verwarring achter ons te laten.

La maison brûle. De menace lointaine, la crise du climat est devenue une urgence absolue. Pourquoi n’agit-on pas? Que faut-il faire pour éteindre le feu une fois pour toutes? Naomi Klein défend depuis longtemps le projet d’un New Deal vert, une profonde transformation de l’économie pour combattre de front les bouleversements climatiques et les inégalités sociales. À l’heure où montent les eaux et la haine, Klein démontre que seul un programme audacieux et radical pourrait inciter les gens à se battre pour leur vie pendant qu’il est encore temps. Les textes réunis ici illustrent l’aspect prophétique et philosophique de la pensée de l’auteure. Elle y explique la contradiction entre la temporalité de l’écologie et la culture de l’«éternel présent», les changements que l’humanité a su opérer face à des menaces graves, et en quoi la montée du suprémacisme blanc et la fermeture des frontières sont des symptômes de la «barbarie climatique». Des paysages fantomatiques du récif corallien de la Grande Barrière aux ciels noirs de fumée du Nord-Ouest pacifique, en passant par un Vatican en pleine prise de conscience, Naomi Klein brosse un portrait saisissant de l’effondrement écologique et social actuel, mais surtout des personnes et des mouvements qui luttent pour faire de cette catastrophe une formidable occasion pour l’humanité.

In Hot Money Naomi Klein lays out the evidence that deregulated capitalism is waging war on the climate, and shows that, in order to stop the damage, we must change everything we think about how our world is run. Over the past 75 years, a new canon has emerged. As life on Earth has become irrevocably altered by humans, visionary thinkers around the world have raised their voices to defend the planet, and affirm our place at the heart of its restoration. Their words have endured through the decades, becoming the classics of a movement. Together, these books show the richness of environmental thought, and point the way to a fairer, saner, greener world.

"¿Recuerdan cuando se suponía que el amor iba a triunfar sobre el odio? ¿O que hubo un momento en que las petroleras y los banqueros parecían estar amilanados y a la defensiva? ¿Qué demonios pasó? ¿Y qué podemos hacer al respecto? Naomi Klein nos explica cómo hemos llegado a este punto y cómo podemos cambiar las cosas para mejor. Decir no no basta revela, entre otras cosas, que la desorientación que sentimos nos la han provocado deliberadamente. Que por todo el mundo, para generar una crisis tras otra, se están utilizando tácticas de shock diseñadas para forzar políticas que van a arruinar a la gente, el medio ambiente, la economía y nuestra seguridad. Que el extremismo no es un hecho aberrante, sino un cóctel tóxico de nuestros tiempos. Naomi Klein nos enseña cómo podemos romper el hechizo y conseguir el mundo que necesitamos. No dejemos que se salgan con la suya"--Provided by Amazon.
