Acclaimed journalist, activist, and best-selling author Naomi 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.

Naomi Klein gibt Antworten auf Donald Trump. Wie konnte es dazu kommen, dass Donald Trump Präsident der USA wurde? Der mit "alternativen Fakten" gegen Einwanderer, gegen Frauen, gegen Wissenschaft, gegen Pressefreiheit hetzt und seine populistische Agenda schamlos durchsetzt. Überzeugend zeigt Naomi Klein, dass Trump weder aus dem Nichts aufgetaucht ist noch ein politischer Unfall ist. Seine Wahl ist die konsequente Fortsetzung einer Entwicklung, die schon vor Jahren begann. Trump ist Agent eines ungezügelten Kapitalismus, zunehmender Ungleichheit, zunehmenden Rassismus und Protektionismus.
