Description:
ÒThis 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 itÕs 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.Ó
ÐFrom the Introduction
Donald TrumpÕs takeover of the White House is a dangerous escalation in a world of cascading crises. His reckless agendaÑincluding a corporate coup in government, aggressive scapegoating and warmongering, and sweeping aside climate science to set off a fossil fuel frenzyÑwill 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 Òbrand bullies.Ó 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-centuryÑthe 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 Òno.Ó Our historical moment demands more: a credible and inspiring Òyes,Ó a roadmap to reclaiming the populist ground from those who would divide usÑone 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.
