This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate is Naomi Klein's fourth book, and was published in September 2014.[1] In the book Klein argues that the climate crisis cannot be addressed in the current era of neoliberal market fundamentalism, which encourages profligate consumption and has resulted in mega mergers and trade agreements hostile to the health of the environment.[2]
The book won the 2014 Hilary Weston Writers' Trust Prize for Nonfiction,[3] and was a shortlisted nominee for the 2015 Shaughnessy Cohen Prize for Political Writing.[4]
In The New York Times Book Review, Rob Nixon wrote that This Changes Everything was "the most momentous and contentious environmental book since Silent Spring."[2] It was also included on their list of 100 notable books for 2014.[5]
