This book is an explanation of why the climate crisis challenges us to 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 ourselves or radical changes will be visited upon our physical world. The status quo is no longer an option. Naomi Klein argues that climate change isn't just another issue to be neatly filed between taxes and health care, it's an alarm that calls us to fix an economic system that is already failing us in many ways.
