Naomi Klein: Stamina, Transformation, & Collective Joy

“We have an economic system that is very profitable for the winners, and they’re not that interested in the level of change that IPCC report after IPCC report is telling us we need: fundamental transformation of virtually every aspect of society….So how do we build the political power that wants that transformation?”

Naomi Klein needs no introduction. The author of This Changes Everything as well as No Logo and The Shock Doctrine, among other books, she’s a professor of climate justice at the University of British Columbia, and one of the very few folks to whom I’d consider outsourcing my thinking. She has been a super-power for multiple movements, and has offered her sharp analysis, warmth, energy, and commitment in myriad ways to the fight for a humane and thriving planet.
