Review
------
“This year's most immediately useful political book.”
—Publishers Weekly Best Books of 2017
“Naomi Klein is a critically important thought-leader in these
perilous times, a necessary voice as a courageous movement of
movements rises from the ashes of the last election cycle. No Is
Not Enough tells a compelling story about where we are, how we
got here, and what we should do now. The book is a genuine
page-turner—highly engaging and provocative—and provides a
fascinating lens through which we can view our current moment.
Klein is not preaching to the choir, but framing the moment,
connecting necessary dots, and outlining the challenge that lies
ahead in clear terms that anyone can understand.”
—Michelle Alexander, author, The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration
in the Age of Colorblindness
“Naomi Klein is one of the few revolutionary public intellectuals
of great integrity and vision. This new book confirms her crucial
relevance and essential pertinence.”
—Cornel West, author, Race Matters
“Urgent, timely, and necessary.”
—Noam Chomsky, Institute Professor (Emeritus), MIT
“A blueprint for combating Trumpism and the corporatist policies
of his predecessors that made his rise possible. With a genuine
sense of hope, Naomi Klein illuminates paths to collectively
forge an ecologically sound, anticapitalist order.”
—Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
“In No Is Not Enough, Naomi Klein anatomises the roots of Trump
in the already dystopian world of corporate-ruled America and
predicts the “end run around democracy”. A clear and readable
guide to action, if it is action you are contemplating.”
—Paul Mason, The Guardian
“Klein moves beyond mere outrage and hand-wringing to offer a
practical manifesto for sition.”
—Financial Times
“Naomi Klein shows us that the monstrosity of Donald Trump has
not occurred in a vacuum but is the culmination of decades of
unchecked economic inequality, racism, militarism, and war. As
the shock of Trump as president gives way to anger and the
determination to fight, No Is Not Enough makes an urgent
intervention in emerging movements. It will take more than
‘resistance’ to beat Trumpism. We need history, politics,
strategy, and, most importantly, the optimism that another world
is possible. Klein has made a critical contribution to the
developing sition to Trump and the economic disorder that
produced him.”
—Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, author, From #BlackLivesMatter to Black
Liberation
“If you’re wondering how Naomi Klein has managed to produce an
essential and gripping book so early in the Trump presidency,
it’s because she’s spent her whole intellectual life preparing
for just this moment. Trump is the ultimate logo. Every day we
watch him try to exploit yet another shock to the system. So this
is the book to read—not just the first word on Trump, but in
powerful ways the last word as well.”
—Bill McKibben, author, Oil and Honey: The Education of an
Unlikely Activist
“Naomi Klein has written an ordinary person’s guide to hope. Read
this book.”
—Arundhati Roy, author, The End of Imagination
“No Is Not Enough manages to be that rare thing in political
writing: both rousing and profoundly sensible. It is brilliant.”
—Laurie Penny, The New Statesman
“[A]nyone struggling for a place to even start making sense of
Trump, and Trumpism, will find a book abounding in
in… Without lapsing into corny cheeriness or the puffed-up
cant of centrist political cliché (“Love Trumps Hate!”), Naomi
Klein holds out a cautious hope for the despairing age: an
honest, prescriptive belief that people can unite in their
sition to Trumpism to build a better world.”
—The Globe and Mail
“Klein’s background and expertise allow her to pull together the
disparate threads of what it would be misleading to call
“Trumpism”, if only because of the unwarranted suggestion of
system and control. She insists, rightly in my view, that there
is a need to promote a positive alternative social vision, and
that ostensibly “utopian” s and proposals are a way to avoid
being caught in a politics that is merely reactive or timidly
reformist.”
—Hari Kunzru, The Guardian
“No Is Not Enough is the absolute must-read book of the Trump
era. Naomi Klein lays out exactly what we need to know about how
we got here, and ends with a clarion call to channel our despair
and outrage into action. This book is inspiring and
energy-giving. Like a little sun.”
—Emma Thompson
“Saying No to their shock doctrine is essential but insufficient.
Naomi Klein’s new book incites us brilliantly to stiffen our lip,
to overcome quickly their calculated shocks, and to interweave
our No with a programmatic Yes. It is a manual for emancipation
by means of the only weapon we have against orchestrated
misanthropy: constructive disobedience.”
—Yanis Varoufakis, DiEM25 co-founder, Professor of Economic
Theory, University of Athens
“Naomi Klein's books are ceaselessly illuminating, daring, and
indispensable. As accessible as it is brilliant, No Is Not Enough
is an essential blueprint for a worldwide counter-attack against
right-wing corporate hegemony.”
—Owen Jones, author, The Establishment: And How They Get Away
with It
“From No Logo to The Shock Doctrine to This Changes Everything,
Naomi Klein’s books have charted the harmful impact of surging
corporate power on culture, jobs, peace, and the planet. In our
current hellish situation, who better than Naomi to make sense of
this madness, and help us find a way out? This book is a
top-of-the-stack summer must-read.”
—Michael Stipe, musician
“No Is Not Enough is Naomi Klein 2.0. It is the accumulation of
years of brilliant and layered analysis applied with lightning
precision to an understanding of how we got to Trump, and how we
can use this moment to bring about another system and world. It
is a potent stand for No—and a compelling vision of the Yes to
come.”
—Eve Ensler, author, In the Body of the World
“Naomi Klein has written a compelling book that we all need to
read and act on. No Is Not Enough is an essential handbook for
all people, especially young people, who want to understand the
economic, social, and political forces that produced the current
crisis we are facing—and how we can effectively organize to win a
better world.”
—Danny Glover, actor
“Naomi Klein constructs a common story that allows us to
withstand the effects of being shocked. We can act upon that,
with intelligence and happiness, to recover our world and the use
of adjectives.”
—Gael García Bernal, actor
“The desire to radically challenge capitalism is widespread and
growing. Klein’s new book is an important contribution to that
project.”
—Nicole M. Aschoff, Jacobin
“A useful volume in the fast-growing library of resistance.”
—Kirkus Reviews
