Summary

Trump, as extreme as he is, is less an aberration than a logical conclusion - a pastiche of pretty much all the worst and most dangerous trends of the past half century. A one-man megabrand, with wife and children as spin-off brands....

Remember when it all seemed to be getting better? Before Trump happened? Naomi Klein, internationally acclaimed journalist, activist and best-selling author, shows us how we got to this surreal and dangerous place, how to stop it getting a lot worse, and how, if we keep our heads, we can make things better.

No Is Not Enough reveals, among other things, how Trump's election was not a peaceful transition but a corporate takeover, one using deliberate shock tactics to generate wave after wave of crises and force through radical policies that will destroy people, the environment, the economy and national security.

This audiobook is the tool kit for shock resistance, showing all of us how we can break Trump's spell and win the world we need. Don't let them get away with it.

A clear insight into the rise of Donald Trump

A brilliant analysis of how Trump has achieved the ultimate position of power in the USA, and what he and his cronies plan to do with it (and some insight into reasons for Brexit here in the UK). The first 3 sections are gruelling, harrowing, but essential listening to understand how the far right and commercial interests have combined forces to gain political control in America. The 4th section explains what can be done to combat this, and has a (slightly) more optimistic tone. Klein is a fantastic analyst and everyone with an interest in the World should listen or read this, her most important book.

five star read.... if you are human 😊

well read, such fascinating research. A close up look at Trumpism- but relevant across the world not just the USA.....A depressing subject transformed into insight and a boost to morale regarding our shared future. Top stuff.

A must read

Terrifying and liberating all at once.

After 36 years of being disengaged with politics, hoping to find answers else where, I recognise the need too be engaged, if only to actively participate in new ways of working together against our corporate political grave diggers.

This book will hopefully galvanise more listeners into action.

Illuminating and Terrifying

Klien’s precise attack on the current occupant of the White House is as informative as it is truly terrifying. Though I don’t think this book stands to age that well. It gets to the heart of a lot of what is wrong with right wing American Perspectives and politics. It feels a bit too short If you’re interested in really sinking your teeth into what Naomi Klien’s work is about in general I’d recommend ‘No Logo’ over this, however if your here for the Trump bashing knock yourself out.

A must read!

Perfectly narrated by Brit Marling, No Is Not Enough gives hope in what feels like a hopeless social, political, economic and environmental world.

For those who are new to Naomi Klien, this also acts as a concise summary of her other important works: No Logo, Shock Doctrine and This Changes Everything.

A must read

A must read for any right leaning, daily mail reading individuals. This is a fantastic summary of all of Naomi's previous work, set against the back drop of the current political climate.

A call to action from the best

An unusually positive book from Ms Klein, this is not so much of a doomsday report as a call for action with clear direction as to how to make things better. Written in a more colloquial style it is easier reading than previous books and other writers of this sort often produce.
The substance No Is Not Enough is important. It needs to be understood. We need to act now. A must read!

A timely culmination of all of Klein's ideas

What was one of the most memorable moments of No Is Not Enough?

Too many to mention. It was a culmination of all Klein's ideas, perfectly summing up politics as it is now. It has certainly helped me to approach the disastrous election results with less trepidation and confusion. Showing that Trump is a symptom of the problems we have in the West as opposed to a freak result of an open democracy is crucial when it comes to making transformations for the future we want.

Any additional comments?

If only she was more widely read, perhaps events like this could be avoided rather than us all retrospectively slapping her on the back for diagnosing our worsening problems

Essential reading NOW

Naomi Klein makes sense of what is happening in the western world today and offers a way forward, a way through, a way out. A future.
