""In a world where we are constantly bombarded by fear and confusion, it’s essential to reclaim our power by articulating what we want, not just what we oppose.""
"Klein has spent two decades studying political shocks, climate change, and 'brand bullies.' From this unique perspective, she argues that Trump is not an aberration but a logical extension of the worst, most dangerous trends of the past half-century--the very conditions that have unleashed a rising tide of white nationalism the world over. It is not enough, she tells us, to merely resist, to say 'no.' Our historical moment demands more: a credible and inspiring 'yes,' a roadmap to reclaiming the populist ground from those who would divide us"--Amazon.co
