Naomi Klein: Capitalism Is at War with Life on Earth
Naomi Klein on New York Protests: 'What We're Seeing Is the Birth of a New Climate Movement' (Vice News)
Naomi Klein is a Canadian author and social activist known for her criticism of corporate globalization. Her new book, "This Changes Everything," makes the case that the capitalist economic model is waging war against life on Earth, a conflict Klein calls the most profound threat humanity has ever faced.
Following the People's Climate March in New York, where an estimated 310,000 protestors assembled Sunday in Midtown Manhattan ahead of the UN climate summit, VICE News' Alice Speri caught up with the social activist during Monday's Flood Wall Street demonstrations to talk benevolent billionaires, civil disobedience, and the birth of a new climate movement.
