Book Description
================
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 does 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.
