Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Naomi Klein, author of the number one international best-sellers, The Shock Doctrine and No Logo, returns with This Changes Everything, a must-listen on how the climate crisis needs to spur transformational political change.
Forget everything you think you know about global warming. It's not about carbon - it's about capitalism. The good news is that we can seize this existential crisis to transform our failed economic system and build something radically better.
In her most provocative book yet, Naomi Klein, author of the global best-sellers The Shock Doctrine and No Logo, tackles the most profound threat humanity has ever faced: the war our economic model is waging against life on earth.
Klein exposes the myths that are clouding the climate debate.
You have been told the market will save us, when in fact the addiction to profit and growth is digging us in deeper every day. You have been told it's impossible to get off fossil fuels when in fact we know exactly how to do it - it just requires breaking every rule in the 'free-market' playbook: reining in corporate power, rebuilding local economies and reclaiming our democracies.
You have also been told that humanity is too greedy and selfish to rise to this challenge. In fact, all around the world, the fight back for the next economy is already succeeding in ways both surprising and inspiring.
Climate change, Klein argues, is a civilisational wake-up call, a powerful message delivered in the language of fires, floods, storms and droughts. Confronting it is no longer about changing the light bulbs. It's about changing the world - before the world changes so drastically that no one is safe.
Either we leap - or we sink.
Once a decade, Naomi Klein writes a book that redefines its era. No Logo did so for globalisation. The Shock Doctrine changed the way we think about austerity. This Changes Everything is about to upend the debate about the stormy era already upon us.

A good summary of the possibilities we had
A very good summary of the hope and possibilities we had a decade ago. Unfortunately we now see how little progress has been made, it's not a good book if you are looking for the hope it must have given readers in the first few years of its release.

Narrator has a delivery that grates
This is a marvellous book and the Audible version is the first time I’ve experienced it.
Nobody else has commented on the narration so it’s a very personal thing but I find I cannot listen for long periods as it irritates.
I think it must just be me because Ellen Archer is a highly respected narrator in great demand. Just not by me sadly.

A must-read for everyone!
Even though the narrator was not my favourite and sometimes completely missed the point that the author tried to make, this was a book absolutely worth listening to! I truly believe this book should be taught at schools so that the young generation get educated about the impact capitalism, in its current form, has in our lives and our fellow co-habitants of this planet.

a wellspring of hope
pragmatic, realistic and hopeful. Naomi Klein has amazing foresight, especially in light of recent events. We will see if as a species whether we can alter our futures for our own good in the coming years.
I wish us luck.

Terrifying. Important Is it now too late?
Given this was written ten years ago and we seem to have done none of the action needed this book is quite terrifying. I listened as I wanted to understand more as COP28 happens. Will not help you sleep easy at night, but if like me you want to be informed, then do listen.

An inspiring and necessary read
This book has jumpstarted me into climate action when so many other pleas have failed. I am finally ready to fight and win this battle…

Agonisingly long winded
Wow. I finished. There were times I wasn’t sure whether I could last. Every sentence was so long, every word replaced with a more complicated one with more syllables. Yes, I sound like a five year old learning to read. I would counter that with the author wanting to sound more intelligent than she needed to be. Every story was over elaborate, and actually, the general gist of her suggestion is clear from the first few chapters without a clear nor concise conclusion. In fact, concise is quite the opposite of everything in this book. Yes, full of interesting facts, figures and stories around climate change. But good luck to you if you embark on this endless droning book.

Good knowledge and impressive reaserch work on different climate catastrophes and community engagements.
For as much as I agree on many things (climate deniers, role of regulation and big firms interest, geo engineering) the book is extremely ideological. Example: I can’t take seriously a book about climate change that in 460 pages, doesn’t dedicate one full page to to the risk and benefits of nuclear power, limiting the arguments to something along the line of “is bad because human splitting the atom is the symbol of human wanting to control nature”.
Loved the previous to last chapter on her personal life experience: very beautiful and powerful.
