For over twenty years, Naomi Klein has chronicled the economic war against people and the planet, advocating for a sweeping environmental agenda centered on justice. In her compelling essays, she delivers urgent warnings about our future if we fail to act, while also offering hopeful visions of a better world. This collection brings together more than a decade of her passionate writing, along with new material highlighting the critical stakes of our political and economic choices. Klein's long-form essays explore the climate crisis as both a profound political and a spiritual challenge. She examines the tension between ecological time and our culture of immediacy, the rapid evolution of humanity in response to threats, and the rise of white supremacy as a form of "climate barbarism." Through vivid reports from locations like the Great Barrier Reef, smoke-filled skies of the Pacific Northwest, and post-hurricane Puerto Rico, she argues that addressing climate change requires transforming the very systems that caused it. This expansive exploration positions the fight for a greener world as essential to our survival, capturing the urgent need for action and the momentum of a burgeoning political movement advocating for a transformative Green New Deal.
