Offering a testament to the hunger for insight and guidance for understanding--and resisting--the presidency of Donald Trump, the newly-published book by journalist and progressive activist Naomi Klein surged to the top of Amazon's best-seller list on the day of its publication.
The book, No Is Not Enough: Resisting Trump's Shock Politics and Winning the World We Need, was written in just a matter of months and reads like a primer and how-to manual for citizens living in the Trump era. Published in paperback, the 270-page book is an accessible read which draws on themes from Klein's previous and longer works, including This Changes Everything, The Shock Doctrine, and No Logo.
Released officially on Tuesday in the United States, the book--which award-winning author Arundhati Roy calls "an ordinary person's guide to hope"--shot to the top of the U.S. politics best-seller list immediately.
This is a little surreal... thanks to everyone out there supporting the book and making this happen, esp @haymarketbooks! https://t.co/Qcj1q5aKZ8

Her book's essential argument, explains Klein in the introduction, "is that Trump, extreme as he is, is less an aberration than a logical conclusion--a pastiche of pretty much all the worst trends of the past half century." And her overarching message to those agitating against Trump is that to truly defeat the Republican cabal which he now leads, there must be not just a robust defensive strategy of defense, but the organized promotion of a positive, alternative vision.
"The world we need won't be won just by replacing the current occupant of the Oval Office," she writes. As the title succinctly reflects, in addition to the big "No" aimed at Trump, the movement opposed to him must formulated some even bigger "Yesses."
Already, it seems like a message with an eager audience.
Political revenge. Mass deportations. Project 2025. Unfathomable corruption. Attacks on Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Pardons for insurrectionists. An all-out assault on democracy. Republicans in Congress are scrambling to give Trump broad new powers to strip the tax-exempt status of any nonprofit he doesn’t like by declaring it a “terrorist-supporting organization.” Trump has already begun filing lawsuits against news outlets that criticize him. At Common Dreams, we won’t back down, but we must get ready for whatever Trump and his thugs throw at us. Our Year-End campaign is our most important fundraiser of the year. As a people-powered nonprofit news outlet, we cover issues the corporate media never will, but we can only continue with our readers’ support. By donating today, please help us fight the dangers of a second Trump presidency. |
