Editorial Reviews
Review
“This year's most immediately useful political book.”
—Publishers Weekly Best Books of 2017
“Naomi Klein is a critically important thought-leader in these perilous times, a necessary voice as a courageous movement of movements rises from the ashes of the last election cycle. No Is Not Enough tells a compelling story about where we are, how we got here, and what we should do now. The book is a genuine page-turner—highly engaging and provocative—and provides a fascinating lens through which we can view our current moment. Klein is not preaching to the choir, but framing the moment, connecting necessary dots, and outlining the challenge that lies ahead in clear terms that anyone can understand.”
—Michelle Alexander, author, The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness
“Naomi Klein is one of the few revolutionary public intellectuals of great integrity and vision. This new book confirms her crucial relevance and essential pertinence.”
—Cornel West, author, Race Matters
“Urgent, timely, and necessary.”
—Noam Chomsky, Institute Professor (Emeritus), MIT
“A blueprint for combating Trumpism and the corporatist policies of his predecessors that made his rise possible. With a genuine sense of hope, Naomi Klein illuminates paths to collectively forge an ecologically sound, anticapitalist order.”
—Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
“In No Is Not Enough, Naomi Klein anatomises the roots of Trump in the already dystopian world of corporate-ruled America and predicts the “end run around democracy”. A clear and readable guide to action, if it is action you are contemplating.”
—Paul Mason, The Guardian
“Klein moves beyond mere outrage and hand-wringing to offer a practical manifesto for opposition.”
—Financial Times
“Naomi Klein shows us that the monstrosity of Donald Trump has not occurred in a vacuum but is the culmination of decades of unchecked economic inequality, racism, militarism, and war. As the shock of Trump as president gives way to anger and the determination to fight, No Is Not Enough makes an urgent intervention in emerging movements. It will take more than ‘resistance’ to beat Trumpism. We need history, politics, strategy, and, most importantly, the optimism that another world is possible. Klein has made a critical contribution to the developing opposition to Trump and the economic disorder that produced him.”
—Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, author, From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation
“If you’re wondering how Naomi Klein has managed to produce an essential and gripping book so early in the Trump presidency, it’s because she’s spent her whole intellectual life preparing for just this moment. Trump is the ultimate logo. Every day we watch him try to exploit yet another shock to the system. So this is the book to read—not just the first word on Trump, but in powerful ways the last word as well.”
—Bill McKibben, author, Oil and Honey: The Education of an Unlikely Activist
“Naomi Klein has written an ordinary person’s guide to hope. Read this book.”
—Arundhati Roy, author, The End of Imagination
“No Is Not Enough manages to be that rare thing in political writing: both rousing and profoundly sensible. It is brilliant.”
—Laurie Penny, The New Statesman
“[A]nyone struggling for a place to even start making sense of Trump, and Trumpism, will find a book abounding in insight… Without lapsing into corny cheeriness or the puffed-up cant of centrist political cliché (“Love Trumps Hate!”), Naomi Klein holds out a cautious hope for the despairing age: an honest, prescriptive belief that people can unite in their opposition to Trumpism to build a better world.”
—The Globe and Mail
“Klein’s background and expertise allow her to pull together the disparate threads of what it would be misleading to call “Trumpism”, if only because of the unwarranted suggestion of system and control. She insists, rightly in my view, that there is a need to promote a positive alternative social vision, and that ostensibly “utopian” aims and proposals are a way to avoid being caught in a politics that is merely reactive or timidly reformist.”
—Hari Kunzru, The Guardian
“No Is Not Enough is the absolute must-read book of the Trump era. Naomi Klein lays out exactly what we need to know about how we got here, and ends with a clarion call to channel our despair and outrage into action. This book is inspiring and energy-giving. Like a little sun.”
—Emma Thompson
“Saying No to their shock doctrine is essential but insufficient. Naomi Klein’s new book incites us brilliantly to stiffen our lip, to overcome quickly their calculated shocks, and to interweave our No with a programmatic Yes. It is a manual for emancipation by means of the only weapon we have against orchestrated misanthropy: constructive disobedience.”
—Yanis Varoufakis, DiEM25 co-founder, Professor of Economic Theory, University of Athens
“Naomi Klein's books are ceaselessly illuminating, daring, and indispensable. As accessible as it is brilliant, No Is Not Enough is an essential blueprint for a worldwide counter-attack against right-wing corporate hegemony.”
—Owen Jones, author, The Establishment: And How They Get Away with It
“From No Logo to The Shock Doctrine to This Changes Everything, Naomi Klein’s books have charted the harmful impact of surging corporate power on culture, jobs, peace, and the planet. In our current hellish situation, who better than Naomi to make sense of this madness, and help us find a way out? This book is a top-of-the-stack summer must-read.”
—Michael Stipe, musician
“No Is Not Enough is Naomi Klein 2.0. It is the accumulation of years of brilliant and layered analysis applied with lightning precision to an understanding of how we got to Trump, and how we can use this moment to bring about another system and world. It is a potent stand for No—and a compelling vision of the Yes to come.”
—Eve Ensler, author, In the Body of the World
“Naomi Klein has written a compelling book that we all need to read and act on. No Is Not Enough is an essential handbook for all people, especially young people, who want to understand the economic, social, and political forces that produced the current crisis we are facing—and how we can effectively organize to win a better world.”
—Danny Glover, actor
“Naomi Klein constructs a common story that allows us to withstand the effects of being shocked. We can act upon that, with intelligence and happiness, to recover our world and the use of adjectives.”
—Gael García Bernal, actor
“The desire to radically challenge capitalism is widespread and growing. Klein’s new book is an important contribution to that project.”
—Nicole M. Aschoff, Jacobin
“A useful volume in the fast-growing library of resistance.”
—Kirkus Reviews

About the author

NAOMI KLEIN is an award-winning journalist, syndicated columnist and author of the international bestsellers, This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs The Climate (2014), The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism (2007) and No Logo (2000).
This Changes Everything was an instant New York Times bestseller and is being translated into over 25 languages. Nominated for multiple awards, it won the 2014 Hilary Weston Writers’ Trust Prize for Nonfiction. The documentary inspired by the book, and directed by Avi Lewis, premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2015.
Since This Changes Everything was published, Klein’s primary focus has been on putting its ideas into action. She is one of the organizers and authors of Canada's Leap Manifesto, a blueprint for a rapid and justice-based transition off fossil fuels. The Leap has been endorsed by over 200 organizations, tens of thousands of individuals, and has inspired similar climate justice initiatives around the world.
In November 2016 she was awarded Australia’s prestigious Sydney Peace Prize, for, according to the prize jury, “exposing the structural causes and responsibility for the climate crisis, for inspiring us to stand up locally, nationally and internationally to demand a new agenda for sharing the planet that respects human rights and equality, and for reminding us of the power of authentic democracy to achieve transformative change and justice.”
Klein is a member of the board of directors for climate-action group 350.org. In 2015, she was invited to speak at the Vatican to help launch Pope Francis’s historic encyclical on ecology, Laudato si’.
In 2017, Klein became Senior Correspondent for The Intercept. She is also a Puffin Foundation Writing Fellow at The Nation Institute and contributor to the Nation Magazine. Recent articles have also appeared in The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Boston Globe, The Guardian, the London Review of Books and Le Monde.
She has multiple honourary degrees and in 2014 received the International Studies Association’s IPE Outstanding Activist-Scholar award.
In June 2017, she will be releasing a new book called No is Not Enough: Resisting Trump's Shock Politics and Winning the World We Need.

'No Is Not Enough' is a clear, accessible distillation of the long-term problems in our political system that produced Trump. The first half of the book outlines a basic reality that needs to constantly be driven home: Trump is a symptom, not the disease. If Trump was removed from office today, right-wing extremism would still threaten our environment and an oligarchy disinterested in the public good would still control our political system. Corporations and far-right billionaires have spent decades buying control of local, state, and national politics, government agencies, and the media. Democracy has been eroding for a long time, and Trump is a symptom of a political system that is fundamentally broken.
Because of that, effectively resisting Trump means we have to move beyond just rejecting the Trump administration's destructive policies. Klein spends the second half of the book outlining why we need to develop a bold, positive agenda that directly confronts the institutional crises that produced Trump; we have to propose reforms that would prevent future Trump-like figures from rising to power. These reforms include: ending gerrymandering, automatic voter registration, expanding early voting, publicly financed elections, ranked-choice voting, a ban on all new fossil fuel infrastructure, 100% renewable energy by 2030, ending 'right-to-work' and empowering unions, massive public works projects that create millions of new jobs rebuilding our infrastructure to make it 100% renewable and able to withstand rising sea levels/stronger storms, Medicare-for-All, public banks, creating a carbon tax, establishing a global wealth tax, a $15 minimum wage tied to inflation, tuition free public colleges and universities, etc.
Such reforms won't happen overnight. There will have to be compromises and there will be setbacks. But creating a clear, bold agenda is a North Star that guides organizing; it inspires people new people to get involved in the political process, increases voter turnout, and lets ordinary people understand how politics can actually change their lives for the better. Movements have to demand reforms that can't currently happen in order to shift the political landscape and actively *change* what is possible rather than accept the existing status quo as a static reality that can't change. Without a positive agenda, people burnout and assume politics can never improve their lives. That results in people disengaging from politics, reduces voter turnout, and creates widespread cynicism and despair -- conditions that empower demagogues like Trump (after all, Trump is widely unpopular and not supported by the majority of Americans; it was voter apathy that allowed him to rise to power despite the majority of Americans opposing him). In addition, Klein convincingly argues that an internal shock will cause the Trump administration to impose huge restrictions on civil liberties and attempt crackdowns on progressive organizers and free press (think the PATRIOT Act on steroids). To stop that, what's needed is massive popular mobilizations that enter the streets to reject Trump's attempts to suspend civil liberties -- but that movement *also* needs to couple their rejection of Trump with a clear positive, popular agenda in order to inspire people to join the movement and show that a positive alternative to Trump's authoritarian pro-corporate politics *does* exist and that we *do* have the collective power to bring that reality into existence.
'No Is Not Enough' is a succinct reminder that all of history is new, infinitely improbable realities emerging despite all expectations; indeed, if everything was routine and predictable, we wouldn't need history. Progress has always been driven by popular movements. These movements never had the active participation of more than 1-3% of the population, but their sustained organizing and positive vision for the future has abolished slavery, won women the right to vote, created unions and the 40 hour work week, overthrown dictators and established democracies, cleaned up polluted rivers, and imposed restrictions on corporate power. We are living through another movement moment. The time to unite existing movements and organize around a positive, transformative vision for the future is now. The stakes have never been higher. Let's get to work.
In the meantime, Trump and his corporate and Republican co-conspirators want to take advantage of the chaotic political situation and Republican political dominance to advance their right-wing agenda. So, the Trump administration is acting with speed, hoping that “if dozens of changes come from all directions at once,” the “populations will rapidly become exhausted and over-whelmed, and will ultimately swallow their bitter medicine” (137). Their approach represents in part, Klein thinks, the exploitation of crises and the shocks that accompany them. She refers to it as “the shock doctrine,” a concept that provided the title of one of her previous books (140). The more crises, the better for the Republican agenda and corporate interests.
What is needed now? Klein’s position is that there must be two developments if the variegated opposition to Trump has any hope of being successful in toppling Trump and replacing him and the Republicans with progressive candidates. The opposition must become united if it is to stop Trump and his allies from implementing its pro-corporate, anti-democratic, anti-environmental agenda, and it must have a convincing alternative vision and agenda of the kind of economy, polity, and society it wants.
Realize that we are in it together and that we share certain values, including “generosity, hospitality, warmth, and wisdom” (243). What do these values look like in policy terms? They point to “a culture that welcomes those in need, rather than greeting strangers with fear and suspicion; that values elders and the knowledge they have accumulated over lifetimes….” (243). We want an energy system that is “owned by ordinary citizens, and controlled democratically, involving perhaps “energy cooperatives.” Klein refers to how Denmark has pioneered in encouraging and subsidizing cooperatively owned wind farms (244). We must also envision an economy in which “no worker is left behind” (245). We must redefine what happiness means, so that we can be “liberated from the endless cycle of ever-escalating consumption” (246). We must end subsidies for fossil fuels, support a carbon tax, raise taxes on the rich and corporations, make cuts in military spending, shut down tax havens (246). Klein and her colleagues in Canada put together a platform called Leap that includes these and other proposed changes and that has the goal of uniting communities and movements and giving them reason to be optimistic about the prospect of a practical alternative to corporate capitalism and its neoliberal political agenda.
Klein’s book is strongest in its analysis of the ascendance of Trump, what it represents, why it has happened, and the threats to democracy and justice that it poses. Her marshalling of information on the opposition to Trump is excellent. However, it remains to be seen whether this opposition will become strong enough not only to stop some of Trump’s most egregious policies and bring an end to his presidency and Republican domination of the federal government, but do so based on a progressive alternative that reflects in society’s institutions and culture the values Klein identifies.
One of the big obstacles to the coming together of an overall unified opposition is that there are indeed a multiplicity of important issues that require and are getting the attention of progressively minded activists and citizens. But each issue demands so much time and energy that it will be a monumental challenge to create an organization big enough and influential enough to achieve overall unity. Just think of the time and effort being given now to defeating the Republican health care legislation, while Trump and his generals at taking reckless military steps in Syria. Where is the unity? In the US political system, a kind of unity of desperate interests and movements has been provided by political parties. Klein is skeptical of the Democratic Party in providing such leadership and integrative outcomes. If the Democratic Party cannot be transformed adequately, what is the alternative? Third parties in this country have only marginal impact on voter mobilization, education, and voting.

You may say I'm a dreamer.....
新自由主義は民主主義と親和的であるとする見方も、その理論的支柱であるミルトン・フリードマンの考えを、最初に純粋な形で採用したのが、チリのピノチェト軍事政権(米国のCIAの支援を受けたクーデターで、選挙で選ばれたアジェンデ政権を倒して成立)であることから始めて、強く否定している。
さて、NO IS NOT ENOUGHと言うことなのだが、南北戦争も、大恐慌時のニューディール政策も、1960年代の公民権運動も、NOだけではなく、夢を語っていたと著者は指摘する。これは、私たち、日本においても重要な指摘だと感じた。1970年前後、多くの革新自治体を生み出していった時には、大企業優先を止め、公害を無くし、福祉の充実を図ると言う理念が「シビルミニマム」と言う形で語られていた。例えば東京では、皆で青空バッチを着けて都知事選を勝ち抜いたのだ。確かに夢があった。残念ながら、今は夢どころではなく、ゴール前で必死の防戦を続けるのがやっとだ。
著者は、NOでは十分ではないとしても、二つの選択肢があるとする。一つは、バンドエイドを貼るような案を出して行くと言う考え。もう一つは、一気に流れを変えて行くような案を作って行くと言う方向だ。保守派や中間派の取り込みを意識して前者に傾きがちなのだが、それでは成功しないと著者は言う。カナダにおいて、The Leap Manifesto と言う政策プラットフォームを政党抜きで市民団体や労働組合の手で作り上げている。
小生の住む町でも、2017年秋の総選挙では、市民団体が野党各党に呼び掛けて、統一候補を立てて戦い、小選挙区で当選を果たした。小生も微力ながらお手伝いをしている。仲間の多くは、60~70代の退職者と中小企業か商店の経営者だ。若者もいるが、女性が中心で、男性は少ない。9条改憲、安保法制、共謀罪、特定秘密保護法、原発再稼働のすべてに「NO」がコンセンサス。そこから先は、関心の面でも知識の面でもこれからと言うこと。NOT ENOUGHなのです。
