Naomi Klein: 'Our Economic Model Is at War with Life on Earth'

The book's title is not elusive: 'This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate'

Her book "The Shock Doctrine" is one of the best I've ever read.

It's too bad that because of the name similarity Naomi Klein gets confused with Naomi Wolf.
