The author and intellectual Cornel West has said that 'justice is what love looks like in public.' I often think that neoliberalism is what lovelessness looks like as policy.
No Is Not Enough
“This is one attempt to uncover how we got to this surreal political moment. It is also an attempt to predict how, under cover of shocks and crises, it could get a lot worse. And it’s a plan for how, if we keep our heads, we might just be able to flip the script and arrive at a radically better future.”
–From the Introduction
In a world of cascading crises, Donald Trump's ascension to the White House represents a perilous escalation. His irresponsible programme, which includes a corporate takeover of government, aggressive scapegoating and warmongering, and ignoring climate science to ignite a fossil fuel frenzy, will result in a slew of economic, national security, and environmental calamities.
Naomi Klein is a successful author, journalist, and activist who has spent two decades researching political shocks, climate change, and "brand bullies." She believes that Trump is a natural continuation of the darkest, most dangerous tendencies of the previous half-century—the precise conditions that have unleashed a growing tide of white nationalism throughout the world—from this unique vantage point. She warns us that just resisting or saying "no" isn't enough. More is required at this historic moment: a credible and inspiring "yes," a blueprint for reclaiming the populist ground from those who seek to divide us—one that charts a bold course for achieving the fair and loving society we desire.
This important, urgent book from one of our most influential thinkers is a bracing positive shock in and of itself, helping us understand how we got here and how we may come together and heal together.
