Story
In her ground-breaking reporting, Naomi Klein introduced the term "disaster capitalism". Whether covering Baghdad after the U.S. occupation, Sri Lanka in the wake of the tsunami, or New Orleans post-Katrina, she witnessed something remarkably similar. People still reeling from catastrophe were being hit again, this time with economic "shock treatment": losing their land and homes to rapid-fire corporate makeovers.

Story
In This Changes Everything 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. Klein meticulously builds the case for how massively reducing our greenhouse emissions is our best chance to simultaneously reduce gaping inequalities, re-imagine our broken democracies, and rebuild our gutted local economies.

An instant best seller, 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 “perpetual now,” 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 “climate barbarism,” this is a rousing call to action for a planet on the brink.

The Founding Fathers tried to protect us from the threat they knew, the tyranny that overcame ancient democracy. Today, our political order faces new threats, not unlike the totalitarianism of the 20th century. We are no wiser than the Europeans who saw democracy yield to fascism, Nazism, or communism. Our one advantage is that we might learn from their experience.

America, says Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Chris Hedges, is convulsed by an array of pathologies that have arisen out of profound hopelessness, a bitter despair and a civil society that has ceased to function. The opioid crisis, the retreat into gambling to cope with economic distress, the pornification of culture, the rise of magical thinking, the celebration of sadism, hate, and plagues of suicides are the physical manifestations of a society that is being ravaged by corporate pillage and a failed democracy. All these ills presage a frightening reconfiguration of the nation and the planet.

Why is America living in an age of profound economic inequality? Why, despite the desperate need to address climate change, have even modest environmental efforts been defeated again and again? Why have protections for employees been decimated? Why do hedge-fund billionaires pay a far lower tax rate than middle-class workers? The conventional answer is that a popular uprising against "big government" led to the rise of a broad-based conservative movement.

Writing for a wide audience, David Harvey, author of The New Imperialism and The Condition of Postmodernity, here tells the political-economic story of where neoliberalization came from and how it proliferated on the world stage.

The shift toward automation is about to create a tsunami of unemployment. Not in the distant future - now. One recent estimate predicts 13 million American workers will lose their jobs within the next seven years - jobs that won't be replaced. In a future marked by restlessness and chronic unemployment, what will happen to American society? In The War on Normal People, Andrew Yang paints a dire portrait of the American economy. Rapidly advancing technologies like artificial intelligence, robotics, and automation software are making millions of Americans' livelihoods irrelevant.

Publisher's Summary
A road map to resistance in the Trump era from internationally acclaimed journalist, activist, and best-selling author Naomi Klein.
"This book is a toolkit to help understand how we arrived at this surreal political moment, how to keep it from getting a lot worse, and how, if we keep our heads, we can flip the script and seize the opportunity to make things a whole lot better in a time of urgent need. A toolkit for shock-resistance." (Naomi Klein, from the preface)
The election of Donald Trump is a dangerous escalation in a world of cascading crises. Trump's vision - a radical deregulation of the US economy in the interest of corporations, an all-out war on "radical Islamic terrorism", and sweeping aside climate science to unleash a domestic fossil fuel frenzy - will generate wave after wave of crises and shocks to the economy, to national security, to the environment.
In No Is Not Enough, Naomi Klein explains that Trump, extreme as he is, is not an aberration but a logical extension of the worst and most dangerous trends of the past half century. In exposing the malignant forces behind Trump's rise, she puts forward a bold vision for a mass movement to counter rising militarism, racism, and corporatism in the United States and around the world.

Great story, TERRIBLE narrator
The content of the book is excellent. Naomi reviews her previously studied subjects of disaster capitalism, and puts them in context of the Trump presidency today. This book was written only months before Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico, but is shocking how accurate her predictions were.
The narrator is awful though. She has very little emotion in her voice. She talks in a low "vocal fry" and trails off at the end of sentences constantly. The volume is not loud enough because the audio was not mastered. Compensating by turning up the volume causes the pop of consonants to scream out, due to the lack of compression. Her voice also badly needs equalization to turn down 800 Hz because it is painfully loud. I can't turn up the book enough to hear it, without certain syllables and consonants popping out, hurting my ears. Please get Naomi to read it, or literally any other female professional voiceover talent!

Skip to the last section.
The bulk of the book rehashes what the 45th president of the United States has done during his first 9 months in office. If you read Naomi Klein, you probably follow the news and are aware of the current situation. So, reviewing 45's presidency feels redundant.
That being said, the final section discusses possible courses of action to build a better future. This is where this book is valuable. It presents some bold ideas, and makes a case for how and why we could implement them.

Good critique of neoliberalism and the Trump doctrine, incoherent solutions
Naomi Klein delivers a stinging and accurate critique of neoliberalism, but falls short when it comes to presenting solutions. The book is worth reading for its well reasoned criticism of market fundamentalism and modern day technocracy. Klein accurately describes how modern day right wing parties exploit crises in order to push authoritarian solutions that people would overwhelmingly reject in ordinary circumstances.
Where she falls short is in believing that the real tensions that the right wing exploits (cynically) can just be papered over or ignored. There are real tensions between the adoption of open borders and the sustainability of the welfare state. There are tensions between the secularism she would have society wholeheartedly accept with its vision of inclusion for alternative sexual orientations, and her vision of multiculturalism which also allows the unabated promotion of regressive religious ideologies. Not making choices between these very variant alternative visions and thinking that a large platform that is everything to everyone is a solution is ultimately hopelessly naive - and leaves us open to further exploitation by fascist forces. Not making choices is a choice.
The book is still worth reading for the aforementioned critique of neoliberalism, but unfortunately falls short of delivering anything close to a comprehensive alternative.

What was one of the most memorable moments of No Is Not Enough?
The fact that just defeating trump isn't enough - because then we'll be back where we were before he got elected. We need a vision of how things should be and promote that - and then defeat trump.

A progressive vision with clarity and force.
Like the recent presidential election the author contextualizes and explains, this book was an emotional roller coaster. I felt angry, sad, and truly optimistic for the first time in a while. I hope the vision for a society centered around and ethos of care and respect will be embraced, fought for, and won in the coming years. It's basically a requirement in order to prevent a catastrophic crumbling of both our environment and society, each fueling the other. It's an argument with heart, and with force. Its idealism is matched with its realism, and I gotta say, I'm on board. No is not enough.
