No Is Not Enough: Resisting Trump's Shock Politics and Winning the World We Need

Donald Trump’s takeover of the White House is a dangerous escalation in a world of cascading crises. His reckless agenda will generate waves of disasters and shocks to the economy, national security, and the environment. No Is Not Enough argues that Trump is not an aberration but a logical extension of the worst, most dangerous trends of the past half-century. This timely, urgent book offers a bracing positive shock of its own, helping us understand just how we got here, and how we can, collectively, come together and heal.

Praise for No Is Not Enough

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.”
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

“In No Is Not Enough, Naomi Klein anatomizes 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 an action you are contemplating.”
Paul Mason, The Guardian

“Klein moves beyond mere outrage and hand-wringing to offer a practical manifesto for the opposition.”

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.”
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

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

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
