No Is Not Enough: Defeating the New Shock Politics by Naomi Klein
4.0
I found it difficult to read this book because it walks a righteous path that is in many ways unassailable while at the same time does not address the complexity of issues and the risks of unintended consequences.
I am not ultimately sure if the argument is enlightened or faith based. For example at times suggesting we hark back to a native relationship to land but no admission of how realistic this would be with current world population.
Some interesting ideas at the end of the text are a breath of fresh air from the heavy complaints that fill the first 80%.
Overall, I am left skeptical of this approach to persuasion, creation of knowledge and agency for change but admire the desired intent.
