You Need To Read This Book #shorts

Naomi Klein's This Changes Everything was a formative book for me, I highly recommend reading it!

To me the quote which changed everything was:
"what the climate needs to avoid collapse is a contraction in humanity's use of resources. What our economic model demands to avoid collapse is unfettered expansion. Only one of these sets of rules can be changed, and it's not the laws of nature"

This quote completely blew my mind

Noami Kline is a clever lady ... She trashed old capitalism only to embrace greenwash cápitalism 👎🏽... She has big endowments from various powerful institutions ... Hence what changes is highly debatable and mostly intangible

I completely agree with this book. I’m basically an ancom!

How does it compare to her slightly newer book “On Fire”?

It's on my read list from a very long time, I'm trying to find time to read, but i can't cuz my job takes up a lot of time☹️
Sad to see how capitalism(job) prevents me from knowing truths about capitalism..

Read Less is More by Jason Hickel instead

The NYT logo is a huge turnoff but I'll look into it.

I sadly must disagree, a lof the things she stated are now shown to not work. She praised germany a lot in regards to localizing energy grids again. But new in recent months we see that Germanies energiewunde failed and it is one of EU country still most reliant on russias gas export.

I really wanted to like this book but the empirical evidence just does not support it sadly

Ok but does she address the lobbying of oil companies? Cause capitalism itself wouldn’t be such a problem if we had term limits and lobbying was illegal (and taking donations from corporations or their CEO’s)
