On Fire: The (Burning) Case for a Green New Deal

Synopsis

#1 New York Times and internationally bestselling author Naomi Klein makes the case for a Green New Deal in this &“keenly argued, well-researched, and impassioned&” manifesto (The Washington Post).An instant bestseller, On Fire shows 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. An expansive, far-ranging exploration that sees the battle for a greener world as indistinguishable from the fight for our lives, On Fire captures the burning urgency of the climate crisis, as well as the fiery energy of a rising political movement demanding a catalytic Green New Deal. &“Naomi Klein&’s work has always moved and guided me. She is the great chronicler of our age of climate emergency, an inspirer of generations.&” —Greta Thunberg, climate activist "If I were a rich man, I&’d buy 245 million copies of Naomi Klein&’s 'On Fire' and hand-deliver them to every eligible voter in America…Klein is a skilled writer." —Jeff Goodell, The New York Times
