Naomi Klein: The super rich need to be abolished and âprescribed a middle-class lifeâ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Naomi Klein and Astra Taylorâs End Times Fascism is a surprisingly uplifting book. Donât misunderstand me â their analysis of the amoral tech billionaires, apocalyptic fundamentalists, ethno-nationalists and opportunistic crooks currently setting the agenda in the United States (and worldwide) is terrifying.
