520 Forget everything you think you know about global warming.
The really inconvenient truth is that it's not about
carbon--it's about capitalism. The convenient truth is
that we can seize this existential crisis to transform our
failed economic system and build something radically
better. In her most provocative book yet, Naomi Klein
tackles the most profound threat humanity has ever faced:
the war our economic model is waging against life on
earth. Klein exposes the myths that are clouding the
climate debate. We have been told the market will save us,
when in fact the addiction to profit and growth is digging
us in deeper every day. We 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: reining in corporate power,
rebuilding local economies, and reclaiming our
democracies. We have also been told that humanity is too
greedy and selfish to rise to this challenge. In fact, all
around the world, the fight for the next economy and
against reckless extraction is already succeeding in ways
both surprising and inspiring. Climate change, Klein
argues, is a civilizational wake-up call, a powerful
message delivered in the language of fires, floods, storms,
and droughts. Confronting it is no longer about changing
the light bulbs. It's about changing the world--before the
world changes so drastically that no one is safe. Either
we leap--or we sink. Once a decade, Naomi Klein writes a
book that redefines its era. This one is about to upend
the debate about the stormy era already upon us.--
