Description

“A courageous coruscating counter-spell against the hegemonic nightmare that, if left unchecked, will devour us all.” Junot Díaz, New York Times bestselling author

New York Times bestseller
Finalist for the National Book Award for Nonfiction

A road map to resistance in the Trump era from internationally acclaimed journalist, activist, and bestselling author Naomi Klein…

“This book is a toolkit to help understand how we arrived at this surreal political moment, how to keep it from getting a lot worse, and how, if we keep our heads, we can flip the script and seize the opportunity to make things a whole lot better in a time of urgent need. A toolkit for shock-resistance.”—Naomi Klein, from the Preface

The election of Donald Trump is a dangerous escalation in a world of cascading crises. Trump’s vision—a radical deregulation of the U.S. economy in the interest of corporations, an all-out war on “radical Islamic terrorism,” and sweeping aside climate science to unleash a domestic fossil fuel frenzy—will generate wave after wave of crises and shocks, to the economy, to national security, to the environment.

In No Is Not Enough, Naomi Klein explains that Trump, extreme as he is, is not an aberration but a logical extension of the worst and most dangerous trends of the past half-century. In exposing the malignant forces behind Trump’s rise, she puts forward a bold vision for a mass movement to counter rising militarism, racism, and corporatism in the United States and around the world.

Praise

“A courageous coruscating counter-spell against the hegemonic nightmare that, if left unchecked, will devour us all.” Junot Díaz, New York Times bestselling author

“An ordinary person’s guide to hope. Read this book.” Arundhati Roy, New York Times bestselling author

“Naomi Klein is one of the few revolutionary public intellectuals of great integrity and vision. This new book confirms her crucial relevance and essential pertinence.” Cornel West, New York Times bestselling author

“Klein moves beyond mere outrage and hand-wringing to offer a practical manifesto for opposition.” Financial Times (London)

“Naomi Klein anatomizes the roots of Trump in the already dystopian world of corporate-ruled America and predicts the ‘end run around democracy.’ A clear and readable guide to action, if it is action you are contemplating.” Guardian (London)

“The author, known for her progressive views and cultural criticism, has brought those powers to bear in writing about what she sees as a critical juncture in history. ‘Trump is not a rupture at all,’ she read from her book’s conclusion, ‘but rather the culmination, the logical end point, of a great many stories our culture has been telling for a very long time — that greed is good, that the market rules, that money is what matters.’” Los Angeles Times

“With a genuine sense of hope, Klein illuminates paths to collectively forge an ecologically sound, anticapitalist order.” Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Urgent, timely, and necessary.” Noam Chomsky, Institute Professor (Emeritus), MIT

“An essential handbook for all people, especially young people, who want to understand the economic, social, and political forces that produced the current crisis we are facing—and how we can effectively organize to win a better world.” Danny Glover, award–winning actor and director
