Naomi Klein Libros

Libro incluido en Biblioteca Selecta Forum de Barcelona 2004 ¿Cómo pasó Bill Gates de trabajar en un garaje a convertirse en un magnate mundial? ¿Por qué el nombre de Nike suele identificarse con el trabajo clandestino y la explotación laboral? ¿Por qué algunas de las marcas más respetadas del mundo se están viendo acosadas por virulentas campañas en su contra? La misión de este libro es explicar la irritación que amplios sectores de la sociedad están empezando a sentir contra las grandes marcas. Pero, de paso, nos invita a un periplo fascinante: desde las más lujosas tiendas de ropa de las grandes ciudades a ciertos talleres de Indonesia en los que el trabajo se convierte en degradación, desde los grandes centros comerciales estadounidenses hasta los cuarteles de los activistas que atentan contra las vallas publicitarias o de los piratas informáticos que han declarado la guerra a las multinacionales que violan los derechos humanos en Asia, Naomi Klein desenmascara a la llamada «nueva economía» y desvela el modo en que ha incumplido todas sus promesas.

Winner of the 2009 Warwick Prize for Writing In this groundbreaking alternative history of the most dominant ideology of our time, Milton Friedman's free-market economic revolution, Naomi Klein challenges the popular myth of this movement's peaceful global victory. From Chile in 1973 to Iraq today, Klein shows how Friedman and his followers have repeatedly harnessed terrible shocks and violence to implement their radical policies. As John Gray wrote in The Guardian, "There are very few books that really help us understand the present. The Shock Doctrine is one of those books."

We are in a fight for our lives. Hurricanes Irma and Mar?a unmasked the colonialism we face in Puerto Rico, and the inequality it fosters, creating a fierce humanitarian crisis. Now we must find a path forward to equality and sustainability, a path driven by communities, not investors. And this book explains, with careful and unbiased reporting, only the efforts of our community activists can answer the paramount question: What type of society do we want to become and who is Puerto Rico for? --Carmen Yul?n Cruz, Mayor of San JuanIn the rubble of Hurricane Maria, Puerto Ricans and ultrarich Puertopians are locked in a pitched struggle over how to remake the island. In this vital and startling investigation, bestselling author and activist Naomi Klein uncovers how the forces of shock politics and disaster capitalism seek to undermine the nation's radical, resilient vision for a just recovery.All royalties from the sale of this book in English and Spanish go directly to JunteGente,

Forget everything you think you know about global warming; it's not just about carbon—it's about capitalism. This existential crisis presents an opportunity to transform our failing economic system into something radically better. In her most provocative work, Naomi Klein addresses the profound threat posed by our economic model to life on Earth. She debunks myths clouding the climate debate, revealing that the market won't save us; instead, our addiction to profit and growth deepens the crisis. We have the knowledge to transition away from fossil fuels, but it requires breaking the rules of the "free-market" system by curbing corporate power, rebuilding local economies, and reclaiming our democracies. Contrary to the belief that humanity is too greedy to meet this challenge, inspiring movements worldwide are already paving the way for a new economy. Klein argues that climate change serves as a civilizational wake-up call, expressed through increasingly severe natural disasters. Addressing it means more than simple lifestyle changes; it demands a fundamental transformation of our world before it's irrevocably altered. We face a choice: leap forward or sink further into crisis. Klein's latest work promises to redefine the current era, just as her previous books reshaped discussions on globalization and austerity.

The fight for a green world is the fight of our lives. And with On Fire, Naomi Klein gives us the ammunition to do it. In frank, personal terms, she shows us how the only way forward out of a polluted world of our own making is only through policy reform - a concrete set of actions to combat the mounting threat of total environmental catastrophe. What's needed, she argues, is something with radical verve and guaranteed protections: in other words, a New Deal. On Fire finds Klein at her most canny and prophetic, and the stakes of our imperiled global situation higher than ever before. In wide-ranging essays reporting from varying stages of ecological crisis - from prescient clarion calls from years ago to our panicked present - Klein wakes us up from our environmental sleepwalk and sets us on a course of potent, necessary action.

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

With strong first-hand reporting and an original, provocative thesis, Naomi Klein returns with this book on how the climate crisis must spur transformational political change
