Naomi Klein gathers a series of essays examining the climate crisis as a political and economic emergency rather than a purely environmental problem.

The book argues that the scale of planetary change underway cannot be addressed through minor reforms or market adjustments, but requires a fundamental rethinking of infrastructure, labour, and public investment.

Drawing on reporting, policy debates, and grassroots movements, Klein situates the idea of a Green New Deal within a broader struggle over inequality, democracy, and the future of collective life. Climate change becomes the lens through which questions about capitalism, extractive industry, and public responsibility come sharply into focus.

Urgent and analytical, a thorough record of climate politics in the late 2010s and a proposal for how ecological transformation might be linked to wider social change.
