 of the international bestseller,\nThe Shock Doctrine.  This Changes 
 Everything: Capitalism vs. The Climate clearly \nexplains why we must soon 
 abandon the core free market ideology of our time, restructure the global 
 economy, and remake our political systems. In short, either we embrace 
 radical change, or radical changes will be violently visited upon us. 
 Status quo is no longer an option. \n\nNaomi Klein argues that climate 
 change is not merely another issue to shrug off and file away for the 
 future. It is an alarming certainty that demands we fix an economic system 
 already failing in many terrible ways. Klein meticulously presents the case 
 for how massively reducing our greenhouse emissions is our best chance to 
 simultaneously reduce the growing inequalities, re-imagine our broken 
 democracies, and rebuild our gutted local economies. She exposes the 
 ideological desperation of climate-change deniers, the messianic delusions 
 of would-be geo-engineers, and the tragic defeatism of far too many 
 mainstream green initiatives. She demonstrates precisely why the market has 
 not and can not fix the climate crisis, and will in fact make things worse, 
 with ever more extreme, ecologically damaging extraction methods, 
 accompanied by rampant disaster capitalism. \n\nKlein reveals how the 
 changes to our relationship with nature and one another that are required 
 to respond humanely to this crisis should not be viewed as grim penance, 
 but as a kind of gift – a catalyst to transform broken economic and 
 cultural priorities and heal long-festering historical wounds. She 
 documents the inspiring movements already involved, communities not simply 
 refusing to be sites of further fuel extraction, but already building the 
 next regeneration-based economies. \n\nNaomi Klein is an award-winning 
 journalist and the author of the critically acclaimed #1 international 
 bestseller The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism and of No 
 Logo: Taking Aim at the Brand Bullies, which The New York Times called “a 
 movement bible.” Klein is a contributing editor for Harper’s Magazine, 
 a reporter for Rolling Stone, and a syndicated columnist for The Nation and 
 The Guardian. She is a member of the board of directors of 350.org and a 
 Puffin Foundation Writing Fellow at The Nation Institute.\n\nJason Mark is 
 a co-manager at San Francisco's Alemany Farm and the editor of the 
 quarterly environmental magazine, Earth Island Journal. He is also a 
 co-author of Building the Green Economy: Success Stories from the 
 Grassroots.   \n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2014/09/09/18761410.php
