This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate by Naomi Klein

challenging informative reflective medium-paced

4.5

 This Changes Everything was utterly rage inducing. Klein meticulously lays out the ways capitalism is incompatible with efforts to combat the climate crisis. So many examples of the desire to make millions and billions of dollars trumping everything else. And what’s even more infuriating is that this book is ten years old, yet nothing substantial has changed, so the earth is in a worse position than it was a decade ago. Klein does include some examples of climate change wins, of positive examples that can and are making a noticeable difference, but overall I was left with the depressing feeling that it was too little too late, that the greed and might of capitalism is too powerful. Anything I can do seems inconsequential. But, of course, that’s not a reason to stop.
