“This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. The Climate is a book of such ambition and consequence that it is almost unreviewable… The most momentous and contentious environmental book since Silent Spring.” New York Times Book Review, 100 Notable Books of the Year
An award-winning journalist, environmentalist and activist, Naomi Klein is a contributing editor for Harper’s and a regular columnist for The Nation. Her incisive books include The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism and No Logo: Taking Aim at the Brand Bullies. A writer who puts ideas into action, her most recent book, This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. The Climate, was made into an acclaimed documentary film. Klein is one of the authors of Leap Manifesto, a blueprint for a rapid and justice-based transition off fossil fuels in Canada that has inspired similar initiatives around the world. In 2016, she received Australia’s prestigious Sydney Peace Prize.
