For more than twenty years Klein has been the foremost chronicler of the economic war waged on both people and planet, and an unapologetic champion of a sweeping environmental agenda with justice at its center. Here she gathers more than a decade of her impassioned writing, and pairs it with new material on the staggeringly high stakes of our immediate political and economic choices. Klein makes the case that we will rise to the existential challenge of climate change only if we are willing to transform the systems that produced this crisis.

A flame icon represents the word "fire" on the cover and title page. Includes index.
