"Remember when it all seemed to be getting better? Before Trump happened? What went wrong, and what can we do about it? Naomi Klein--scourge of brand bullies, disaster capitalists and climate liars--shows us how we got to this surreal and dangerous place, how to stop it getting worse and how, if we keep our heads, we can seize the opportunity to make it better. She reveals how Trump is not a freakish aberration, but an extension of the most powerful trends of the last century: celebrity and CEO-worship, Vegas and Guantanamo, soft porn and hard power, fake news and vulture bankers, all rolled into one. His election was not a peaceful transit but a corporate takeover, by people who've knowingly harmed people, societies and our planet. Now their deliberate shock tactics are generating wave after wave of crises, designed to disorientate us and stop us fighting back. This book is the toolkit for shock resistance, giving all of us what we need (including tips such as 'how to jam the brand' and 'kill your inner Trump') to win the argument and right their wrongs. Don't let them get away with it"-- Provided by publisher.

nie book submitted by Zaneeba on June 26, 2019, 8:21am i oove this book because there is lot of action and marvel has alot of action so i like marvel too

There's a lot of "action"? submitted by lisa on July 20, 2020, 6:05pm Maybe Zaneeba confused it with something else.

Anyhow, Naomi Klein aims at the corporatocracy in the time of Trump, and the time leading up to it. I wish it were as easy as deciding not to let them get away with it.
