In This changes everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate, an important call to action, Klein, the syndicated columnist and author of The Shock Doctrine and No logo points to climate change as both an imperative for rethinking how we live and an opportunity for reforming social and economic inequalities. A habitable Earth demands reducing greenhouse gases, and such reductions, in turn, will help create new kinds of communities.

Naomi Kleins bog spænder over et halvt århundredes verdenshistorie fra Latinamerikas CIA-indsatte diktatorer i 1970'erne til ’genopbygningen’ af Irak efter den amerikanske invasion.
