On Fire: The Case for the Green New Deal

audioboek


#1 New York Times and internationally bestselling author Naomi Klein makes the case for a Green New Deal in this ā€œkeenly argued, well-researched, and impassionedā€ manifesto (The Washington Post).

An instant bestseller, On Fire shows Klein at her most prophetic and philosophical, investigating the climate crisis not only as a profound political challenge but also as a spiritual and imaginative one. Delving into topics ranging from the clash between ecological time and our culture of ā€œperpetual now,ā€ to the soaring history of humans changing and evolving rapidly in the face of grave threats, to rising white supremacy and fortressed borders as a form of ā€œclimate barbarism,ā€ this is a rousing call to action for a planet on the brink.

An expansive, far-ranging exploration that sees the battle for a greener world as indistinguishable from the fight for our lives, On Fire captures the burning urgency of the climate crisis, as well as the fiery energy of a rising political movement demanding a catalytic Green New Deal.

ā€œNaomi Kleinā€™s work has always moved and guided me. She is the great chronicler of our age of climate emergency, an inspirer of generations.ā€ ā€”Greta Thunberg, climate activist

"If I were a rich man, Iā€™d buy 245 million copies of Naomi Kleinā€™s 'On Fire' and hand-deliver them to every eligible voter in Americaā€¦Klein is a skilled writer." ā€”Jeff Goodell, The New York Times
