Naomi Klein: On Fire (2019, Simon & Schuster)
English language
Published 2019 by Simon & Schuster.
Typical Klein fare, more in the optimistic vein of This Changes Everything than the depressive force of Shock Doctrine.
It's organized chronologically by essay date, and gets a bit all over the place. Could have been the start of multiple books.
Well worth the read. A collection of essays from the last few years, explaining how we can’t fight the climate emergency without putting the rights and needs of marginalized people first, particularly Indigenous peoples. We can’t just tinker the current system but need radical change. Offers practical suggestions on how we can do it.
What kind of society you want to live ?
What kind of person do you want to be ?
The Green New Deal says Naomi Klein in this inspirational and engaging book is not just a transformation approach to climate crisis, it’s also about making the economy fairer and it’s about battling poverty, racism and all forms of inequality
