Naomi Klein Interviewed by Jia Tolentino

À propos de cet épisode

<p>The author of “No Logo” and “The Shock Doctrine,” Naomi Klein has become what Noam Chomsky was to an earlier generation of leftists. Her theories tie inequality and climate change together, arguing that capitalists use disasters to advance the agenda of neoliberalism. In a conversation with the staff writer <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/contributors/jia-tolentino">Jia Tolentino</a> at the 2017 New Yorker Festival, Klein makes the case that, by embracing billionaire “saviors” like Bill Gates and Michael Bloomberg, liberals helped pave the way for Donald Trump. She is clearly a partisan of the left, but she thinks we could all benefit from reflecting on the ways that each of us—on social media, for example—is a little bit Trumpish.  </p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
