Naomi Klein is a Canadian author, social activist, and filmmaker known for her political analyses; support of ecofeminism, organized labour, and leftism; and criticism of corporate globalization, fascism, ecofascism and capitalism. As of 2021, she is an associate professor, and professor of climate justice at the University of British Columbia, co-directing a Centre for Climate Justice.
Klein first became known internationally for her alter-globalization book No Logo (1999). The Take (2004), a documentary film about Argentine workers' self-managed factories, written by her and directed by her husband Avi Lewis, further increased her profile. The Shock Doctrine (2007), a critical analysis of the history of neoliberal economics, solidified her standing as a prominent activist on the international stage and was adapted into a six-minute companion film by Alfonso Cuaron and Jonás Cuarón, as well as a feature-length documentary by Michael Winterbottom. Klein's This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate (2014) was a New York Times nonfiction bestseller and the winner of the Hilary Weston Writers' Trust Prize for Nonfiction.
In 2016, Klein was awarded the Sydney Peace Prize for her activism on climate justice. Klein frequently appears on global and national lists of top influential thinkers, including the 2014 Thought Leaders ranking compiled by the Gottlieb Duttweiler Institute, Prospect magazine's world thinkers 2014 poll, and Maclean's 2014 Power List. She was formerly a member of the board of directors of the climate activist group 350.org.

Det är lite konstigt men också kul att läsa essäer och artiklar som har ungefär 20 år på nacken. Många är från 2000-2001 och vissa ännu tidigare. Vissa känns väldigt inaktuella medan andra känns fortfarande aktuella. Jag gillar sättet Klein skriver på och tog min tid att läsa denna.
Det är en bra samling och efter ett tag såg jag det som en historik över globaliseringen på ett sätt, i och med att mycket finns det "facit" på idag.
Läste den på svenska även om jag brukar läsa Klein på engelska och skulle inte ha nämnt det om det inte var för att översättningen är något udda? Eller nej, fel ord, det känns inte som om artiklarna är översatta från engelska till svenska utan från engelska till finlandssvenska. Det är verkligen inget fel med det men det märkes och jag tänkte på ord som "veckoslut" och dylikt under läsningens gång.

I found this book in a public bookshelf, I looked into it, I thought it might be interesting, so I took it home. Naomi Klein explains in this book what the so called anti-globalists want, that they are not really anti-globalists, as many would say, because they are not against globalization itself, they just don't like how globalization happens, what WTO does etc., how the poor get poorer and the rich get richer, how the inequality grows etc. The book is from the early 2000's, and I read it in 2020, almost 20 years after the protests which were described in the book, but I wouldn't say it's not actual anymore. When I was reading it I thought "shit, why didn't I find this book while I was still at the university, learning about WTO rounds, disputes etc." It was interesting to read it anyways. I think I will read more books from this author.

Good collection, but scattered and inconsistent (as expected from a collection of articles) - some incredible foresight, but the occasional miss too

It invites us to question how we protect ourselves and close ourselves off from the world. In times where security is associated with fences and borders, the book reminds us that sometimes looking  Outdoor , with an open perspective, is the real key to understanding globalization.”

Naomi Klein's writing is clear, direct and incisive. A collection of essays about corporate power and popular resistance.

Amazing collection of true stories of people's resistence all around the world. A lot of writers would criticise how the world is, but would fall short of citing positive examples of how the world can be changed for the better...but not Naomi. She cites examples to live by and draw inspiration from.
