    • Naomi Klein bietet in ihrem neuen Buch eine tiefgreifende Analyse unserer verworrenen Gegenwart, inspiriert von einer Doppelgängerin, die einst eine Feministin war und jetzt Verschwörungstheorien propagiert. Sie beleuchtet das Verschwimmen von Fakten und Meinungen in einer Welt, die von Hass und Krisen geprägt ist.

    • What if you woke up one morning to discover you had a double—someone almost like you, yet fundamentally different? This doppelganger shares your concerns but promotes the very causes you oppose. Naomi Klein, a celebrated activist and public intellectual, faced this unsettling reality when she encountered a figure whose views she found abhorrent, yet whose name and persona led to confusion. This experience left her disoriented until she recognized it as part of a broader strangeness in our world: AI-generated text blurring communication, New Age wellness advocates becoming anti-vaxxers, and liberal democracies leaning toward absurdist authoritarianism amid rising oceans. Klein, a sharp social critic, turns her focus inward to explore our psychological landscapes while addressing the intersecting crises we face. With insights from Freud, Jordan Peele, and bell hooks, she employs humor and a keen sense of the absurd to confront the doubles that haunt us. Blending comic memoir with chilling reportage and insightful analysis, she seeks to shatter the mirror of our digital selves and explore whether we can overcome the pathologies of our culture. Can we foster a politics of collective care and reckon with historical injustices? The result is a profound exploration of contemporary thought and an intellectual adventure for our times.

    • In Hot Money Naomi Klein lays out the evidence that deregulated capitalism is waging war on the climate, and shows that, in order to stop the damage, we must change everything we think about how our world is run. Over the past 75 years, a new canon has emerged. As life on Earth has become irrevocably altered by humans, visionary thinkers around the world have raised their voices to defend the planet, and affirm our place at the heart of its restoration. Their words have endured through the decades, becoming the classics of a movement. Together, these books show the richness of environmental thought, and point the way to a fairer, saner, greener world

      Why We Need a Green New Deal

      All politics are climate politics in the twenty-first century—and this bold book argues for a Green New Deal that confronts both climate change and inequality The age of climate gradualism is over, as unprecedented disasters are exacerbated by inequalities of race and class. We need profound, radical change. A Green New Deal can tackle the climate emergency and rampant inequality at the same time. Cutting carbon emissions while winning immediate gains for the many is the only way to build a movement strong enough to defeat big oil, big business, and the super-rich—starting right now. A Planet to Win explores the political potential and concrete first steps of a Green New Deal. It calls for dismantling the fossil fuel industry and building beautiful landscapes of renewable energy, guaranteeing climate-friendly work and no-carbon housing and free public transit. And it shows how a Green New Deal in the United States can strengthen climate justice movements worldwide. We don’t make politics under conditions of our own choosing, and no one would choose this crisis. But crises also present opportunities. We stand on the brink of disaster—but also at the cusp of wondrous, transformative change.

    • „Trump, jakkoli působí jako extrém, nepředstavuje odchylku, ale logické vyústění - koktejl nejhorších trendů posledního půlstoletí,“ říká autorka Naomi Kleinová, která se věnuje studiu obchodních značek, klimatických změn a využívání šoku pro politické účely. Z této perspektivy ukazuje, že Trumpova agenda, reprezentující korporátní vliv na americkou vládu, popírání vědeckých závěrů o klimatu a podporování rasových a náboženských předsudků, je symptomem dlouhodobé krize. Nyní nestačí jen vyjadřovat nesouhlas; je zapotřebí věrohodného „ano“ - plánu na uzdravení rozdělené společnosti a nastavení kurzu k spravedlivějšímu a udržitelnějšímu světu pro všechny. “Nejužitečnější politická kniha letošního roku.” —Publishers Weekly Best Books of 2017 “Skvělá Naomi Kleinová v knize Ne nestačí vyčarovala jiskřivé zaklínadlo proti vládnoucí noční můře, která nás všechny pozře, necháme-li ji volnost.” —Junot Díaz, autor knihy Krátký, leč divuplný život Oskara Wajda “Pokud se divíte, jak mohla Naomi Kleinová po relativně krátké době Trumpova prezidenství zkoncipovat tak zásadní text, je to proto, že se na tento moment připravovala celý svůj intelektuální život. Trump je ultimátní značka. Tato kniha otevírá diskusi o Trumpovi a vede ji k silné pointě.”

    • Al meer dan dertig jaar weten we dat er een klimaatcrisis aan zit te komen, maar met die kennis hebben we weinig gedaan. Pas toen Greta Thunberg "Brand!' riep en 1,6 miljoen scholieren wereldwijd haar voorbeeld volgden, begon de urgentie van de situatie werkelijk door te dringen – en nog gaan de meesten van ons door met leven zoals we dat altijd al hebben gedaan. Naomi Klein schrijft al tien jaar over het klimaat. Tien jaar waarin de aarde onherstelbare schade heeft opgelopen en de politieke landkaart ingrijpend is veranderd. Te lang hebben we het economische systeem van ongelimiteerde consumptie en ecologische uitputting in stand gehouden. Voor Klein – en voor steeds meer mensen – is er maar één conclusie mogelijk: de economische, sociale en ecologische crises waar we ons in bevinden, houden sterk verband met elkaar. We moeten onze beschaving ingrijpend veranderen. Het is tijd voor een nieuwe groene politiek.

      Wie konnte es dazu kommen, dass Donald Trump Präsident der USA wurde? Naomi Klein zeigt überzeugend, dass Trumps Wahl keine zufällige Erscheinung ist, sondern eine Fortsetzung einer jahrelangen Entwicklung. Er ist ein Agent des ungezügelten Kapitalismus, der zunehmenden Ungleichheit, Rassismus und Protektionismus. Klein analysiert, dass Trumps Handeln nur verstanden werden kann, wenn man ihn als Marke betrachtet, die darauf abzielt, ihren Markenkern zu stärken. Doch aus dieser scharfen Analyse entwickelt sie auch eine konkrete, optimistische Strategie des neuen Widerstands. Ein einfaches „Nein“ reicht nicht aus; es bedarf eines aktiven Engagements. Klein bietet einen Leitfaden zur Hoffnung und zeigt auf, wie wir gegen die aktuellen Herausforderungen ankämpfen können. Ihre Perspektive ist unverzichtbar für alle, die die ökonomischen, sozialen und politischen Kräfte verstehen wollen, die zur gegenwärtigen Krise geführt haben. Die Stimmen von Michael Stipe und Arundhati Roy unterstreichen die Bedeutung des Werkes, das als Handbuch für effektives Handeln in der aktuellen politischen Landschaft dient.

    • Remember when it all seemed to be getting better? Before Trump happened? Naomi Klein, internationally acclaimed journalist, activist and bestselling author, shows us how we got to this surreal and dangerous place, how to stop it getting a lot worse, and how, if we keep our heads, we can make things better. No Is Not Enough reveals, among other things, how Trump's election was not a peaceful transition, but a corporate takeover, one using deliberate shock tactics to generate wave after wave of crises and force through radical policies that will destroy people, the environment, the economy and national security. This book is the toolkit for shock resistance, showing all of us how we can break Trump's spell and win the world we need. Don't let them get away with it.

      Donald Trump’s takeover of the White House is a dangerous escalation in a world of cascading crises. His reckless agenda—including a corporate coup in government, aggressive scapegoating and warmongering, and sweeping aside climate science to set off a fossil fuel frenzy—will 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 “brand bullies.” 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-century—the 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 “no.” Our historical moment demands more: a credible and inspiring “yes,” a roadmap to reclaiming the populist ground from those who would divide us—one 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.

      Forget everything you think you know about global warming. It's not about carbon - it's about capitalism. The good news is that we can seize this crisis to transform our failed economic system and build something radically better. In her most provocative book yet, Naomi Klein, author of the global bestsellers The Shock Doctrine and No Logo, exposes the myths that are clouding climate debate. You have been told the market will save us, when in fact the addiction to profit and growth is digging us in deeper every day. You have been told it's impossible to get off fossil fuels when in fact we know exactly how to do it - it just requires breaking every rule in the 'free-market' playbook. You have also been told that humanity is too greedy and selfish to rise to this challenge. In fact, all around the world, the fight back is already succeeding in ways both surprising and inspiring. It's about changing the world, before the world changes so drastically that no one is safe. Either we leap - or we sink. This Changes Everything is a book that will redefine our era.

Каждая катастрофа глобального масштаба завершается сегодня новым триумфом частного капитала. Эти события - примеры новой стратегии завоевания мира, которую Наоми Кляйн называет "доктриной шока": использование замешательства народов и государств, возникающие в результате массовых общественных потрясений - войн, террористических атак, природных катаклизмов, - для проведения экономических реформ, известных как "шоковая терапия". "Доктрина шока" разрушает миф о том, что глобальная рыночная экономика торжествует по всему миру и принимается странами на основе свободного волеизъявления их народов. Автор показывает глубокую связь между "корпоративной" модернизацией современного общества и секретными экспериментами ЦРУ по управлению человеческим поведением.

      In her ground-breaking reporting from Iraq, Naomi Klein exposed how the trauma of invasion was being exploited to remake the country in the interest of foreign corporations. She called it "disaster capitalism." Covering Sri Lanka in the wake of the tsunami, and New Orleans post-Katrina, she witnessed something remarkably similar. People still reeling from catastrophe were being hit again, this time with economic "shock treatment" losing their land and homes to rapid-fire corporate makeovers. The Shock Doctrine retells the story of the most dominant ideology of our time, Milton Friedman's free market economic revolution. In contrast to the popular myth of this movement's peaceful global victory, Klein shows how it has exploited moments of shock and extreme violence in order to implement its economic policies in so many parts of the world from Latin America and Eastern Europe to South Africa, Russia, and Iraq. At the core of disaster capitalism is the use of cataclysmic events to advance radical privatization combined with the privatization of the disaster response itself. By capitalizing on crises, created by nature or war, Klein argues that the disaster capitalism complex now exists as a booming new economy, and is th

      The story of the rise of the movement that wanted accountable, improved globalization. For two years Naomi Klein wrote a weekly column for Canada’s leading newspaper, the Globe & Mail (syndicated worldwide, in the Guardian in the UK). She has, by selecting, rewriting and rearranging these columns, prepared what amounts to a first-hand historical record of the gradual rise to prominence of the anti-global-corporatism movement, and of its most notable successes and failures. It has a truly international scope, covering everything from the Zapatistas’ rebellion in Mexico to the Social Centres in Italy, from the biggest peaceful protest demos since the 1960s to the gassings and shootings at Genoa. Naomi analyses developments in local democracy, in law enforcement, in privatisation laws, in capital migrations, in union behaviour, in marketing, in summitry. She gets close to the suited summits – the WTO, the G8, the IMF, NAFTA. She looks at bioterrorism, pollution, hypocrisy, fear and confusion. It is a portrait, or rather the underlying negative, of the planet's torrid time between the Seattle summit and the world-changing events of 11 September 2001. It makes for dramatic, immediate, indispensable history writing, and reading.

      De strijd tegen de dwang van de wereldmer - Nederlandse editie

      No Logo maakt gebruik van journalistieke scherpzinnigheid en persoonlijke getuigenissen om de insidieuze praktijken en verstrekkende effecten van corporate marketing te beschrijven—en het krachtige potentieel van een groeiende activistische sectie die ongetwijfeld de loop van de 21e eeuw zal veranderen. Dit baanbrekende werk van culturele kritiek onderzoekt geld, marketing en de anti-corporate beweging. Terwijl wereldwijde bedrijven strijden om de harten en portemonnees van consumenten die niet alleen hun producten kopen, maar deze ook van top tot teen adverteren—zoals te zien is in schoolboeken, supermarkten, sportarena's en merk-synergie—heeft een nieuwe generatie de strijd tegen consumentisme opgepakt met hun eigen beste wapens. In deze provocerende en goed geschreven studie leren we hoe het Nike-symbool is veranderd van een atletisch statussymbool naar een metafoor voor sweatshoparbeid, hoe tienerwerkers bij McDonald's hun banen riskeren om zich bij de Teamsters aan te sluiten, en hoe "culture jammers" spuitverf, computerhacks en anti-propagandistische woordspelingen gebruiken om de slogans en betekenissen van reclameborden te ondermijnen. No Logo zal studenten sociologie, economie, populaire cultuur, internationale betrekkingen en marketing uitdagen en verlichten.
