The distinguished journalist, activist, and author Naomi Klein has dedicated two decades to studying political shocks, climate change, and corporate branding. Through her unique perspective, she argues that Trump is not a deviation but the logical culmination of the worst, most dangerous trends of the last fifty years, the conditions that have sparked the rise of nationalism around the world.

It is not enough, she tells us, to resist, to say "no." The current historical moment demands more: a credible "yes" that inspires, a roadmap to reclaim the ground lost due to economic populism, and to confront those who divide us, a plan that carves a bold path for us to reach the just and solidarity-based world we want and need.

This timely book serves as a positive shock, helping us to understand how we arrived at our current situation, and how we can work together to collectively heal our societies and the planet.

Trump's election as President of the United States represents a perilous escalation in a world of recurring crises. His dangerous agenda will bring successive disasters and shocks to the economy, national security, and the environment.

This book is nothing more than an effort to analyze how we arrived at this surreal political moment, the specific ways in which things may worsen, and how we can, if we maintain our self-governance, reverse the scenario and move toward a radically better future.
