In This Changes Everything, journalist and activist Naomi Klein makes a bold argument: the climate crisis is not just an environmental issue, it’s a direct result of our current economic system. She challenges the idea that we can fix global warming with small tweaks or green technology alone. Instead, Klein says that real change means rethinking capitalism itself, especially the parts focused on endless growth, corporate power, and resource extraction.
Klein explores how market-based “solutions” like carbon trading have failed, and she criticizes the close ties between big business and some environmental groups. She also shines a light on the powerful role of Indigenous communities and grassroots activists, who are often leading the most effective resistance to polluting industries.
Most importantly, the book offers hope. Klein believes that by facing the climate crisis head-on, we also have a chance to build a fairer and more equal society.
