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.

She is wonderful! and so dead-on!

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.”

I read this all last night and this morning. I have lots and lots to say about it, thus I will be writing about it on my blog later on today!

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.

While I largely share Klein's worldview (and have in fact taught her), she is never one to let things like strict factual accuracy get in the way of points made. This is not to say that Klein is not an intelligent or engaging writer, it is more that one needs to take much of what she needs to say with a grain of salt.

She is brilliant and thought provoking. I like all her work

I registered a book at BookCrossing.com!

Me gustó, lo leí muy rápido. Es corto. De todos modos, no me gustó tanto como los libros anteriores de Klein, si bien tiene muchas cosas realmente interesantes.
Básicamente se trata de una colección de pequeños artículos, en gran medida realcionados con el activismo.
