Naomi Klein Livres

Qu'y a-t-il de commun entre le coup d'Etat de Pinochet au Chili, le massacre de Tiananmen, l'effondrement de l'Union soviétique, et d'autres événements marquants comme les attentats du 11 septembre ou le cyclone Katrina ? Naomi Klein répond que tous ces moments sont liés à l'émergence d'un "capitalisme du désastre". Dans son ouvrage, elle approfondit sa réflexion sur les opérations concertées visant à assurer le contrôle par un ultralibéralisme puissant, qui exploite crises et désastres pour remplacer les valeurs démocratiques par la loi du marché et la spéculation. Ce récit, remarquablement documenté, dévoile une histoire secrète du libre marché et propose une nouvelle éthique de l'investigation journalistique. Il s'affirme comme une lecture essentielle pour réévaluer les enjeux contemporains et futurs, soulignant la responsabilité collective des citoyens du monde. Journaliste et essayiste diplômée de la London School of Economics, Klein est l'auteure du best-seller international No Logo, devenu une référence mondiale. Elle contribue régulièrement à des publications telles que The Nation et The Guardian, et a réalisé un film sur l'occupation des usines en Argentine.

Etat des lieux de la société de consommation, « No logo » analyse et dénonce les innombrables pratiques d'intrusion des marques au cœur de nos vies quotidiennes et expose les formes de résistance qui se mobilisent aujourd'hui pour combattre leur emprise prédatrice. Un best-seller mondial.

For over twenty years, Naomi Klein has chronicled the economic war against people and the planet while championing a comprehensive environmental agenda centered on justice. In her incisive essays, she provides urgent warnings about the future if we fail to act, alongside hopeful visions for a better world. This collection brings together more than a decade of her passionate writing, enriched with new insights on the critical nature of our political and economic choices. Klein explores the climate crisis as not only a political challenge but also a spiritual and imaginative one. She addresses topics such as the conflict between ecological time and our culture of immediacy, the rapid evolution of humanity in the face of threats, and the rise of white supremacy as a form of 'climate barbarism.' Through vivid reports from locations like the Great Barrier Reef and post-hurricane Puerto Rico, she argues that addressing climate change requires transforming the systems that created it. This expansive exploration positions the struggle for a greener world as intertwined with the fight for survival, capturing the urgent need for action and the dynamic energy of a movement advocating for a transformative Green New Deal.

In this work, outspoken business leader Anita Roddick brings together the voices of some of the most prominent authorities on the phenomenon of Globalization, including Susan George, David Korten and Naomi Klein.

Covering aspects of the subject as diverse as human rights, the environment, international finance, health, the food we eat and trade, the book combines medium-length articles with quotes, case notes and interviews. This book constitutes a call to action, showing how each and every one of us can take on the corporate.

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.

Forget everything you think you know about global warming; it's not just about carbon—it's about capitalism. This existential crisis presents an opportunity to transform our failing economic system into something radically better. In her most provocative work, Naomi Klein addresses the profound threat posed by our economic model to life on Earth. She debunks myths clouding the climate debate, revealing that the market won't save us; instead, our addiction to profit and growth deepens the crisis. We have the knowledge to transition away from fossil fuels, but it requires breaking the rules of the "free-market" system by curbing corporate power, rebuilding local economies, and reclaiming our democracies. Contrary to the belief that humanity is too greedy to meet this challenge, inspiring movements worldwide are already paving the way for a new economy. Klein argues that climate change serves as a civilizational wake-up call, expressed through increasingly severe natural disasters. Addressing it means more than simple lifestyle changes; it demands a fundamental transformation of our world before it's irrevocably altered. We face a choice: leap forward or sink further into crisis. Klein's latest work promises to redefine the current era, just as her previous books reshaped discussions on globalization and austerity.

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.

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.
