End Times Fascism : And the Fight for the Living World

End Times Fascism: And the Fight for the Living World by Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor

What happens when powerful interests prepare for global crises instead of working to prevent them? In End Times Fascism: And the Fight for the Living World, Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor examine the rise of an alliance they describe as a convergence of far-right politics, religious fundamentalism, billionaire technology leaders and ethno-nationalism.

Connecting climate disruption, artificial intelligence, inequality and democratic decline, the authors investigate how visions of societal collapse can shape political power and influence the future of our shared world.

About This Book

Klein and Taylor explore how wealthy and influential groups prepare for a future marked by scarcity and instability, from private retreats for the super-rich to ambitions of escaping Earth. They examine the political ideas behind these responses and the consequences for communities facing the effects of environmental and economic disruption.

The book also considers how resistance can begin by rejecting exclusionary visions of survival and building a more inclusive future. It challenges readers to think about democracy, collective responsibility and the possibility of creating a society grounded in care for people and the living world.
