'''Naomi Klein''' (born May 8, 1970) is a Canadian author, social activist, and filmmaker known for her political analyses, support of ecofeminism and organized labour, and criticism of corporate globalization,<ref>{{Cite web|title=Commanding Heights : Naomi Klein {{!}} on PBS|url=https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/commandingheights/shared/minitext/int_naomiklein.html|access-date=December 20, 2021|website=www.pbs.org}}</ref> fascism,<ref>{{Cite web|date=March 27, 2020|title=Berkeley Talks transcript: Naomi Klein on eco-fascism and the Green New Deal|url=https://news.berkeley.edu/2020/03/27/berkeley-talks-transcript-naomi-klein/|access-date=December 20, 2021|website=Berkeley News}}</ref> and capitalism.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.socialistreview.org.uk/article.php?articlenumber=10110 |title=The Shock Doctrine |first=Chris |last=Nineham |date=October 2007 |access-date=April 25, 2011 |work=Socialist Review |archive-date=June 13, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110613164401/http://www.socialistreview.org.uk/article.php?articlenumber=10110 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

Klein first became known internationally for her alter-globalization book ''No Logo'' (1999). ''The Take'' (2004), a documentary film about Argentine workers' self-managed factories, written by her and directed by her husband Avi Lewis, further increased her profile. ''The Shock Doctrine'' (2007), a critical analysis of the history of neoliberal economics, solidified her standing as a prominent activist on the international stage and was adapted into a six-minute companion film by Alfonso and Jonás Cuarón, as well as a feature-length documentary by Michael Winterbottom. Klein's ''This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate'' (2014) was a ''New York Times'' nonfiction bestseller and the winner of the Hilary Weston Writers' Trust Prize for Nonfiction.

In 2016, Klein was awarded the Sydney Peace Prize for her activism on climate justice. Klein frequently appears on global and national lists of top influential thinkers, including the 2014 Thought Leaders ranking compiled by the Gottlieb Duttweiler Institute,<ref>{{cite web|title=Thought Leaders 2014: the most influential thinkers|url=http://www.gdi.ch/en/Think-Tank/GDI-News/News-Detail/Thought-Leaders-2014-the-most-influential-thinkers|publisher=Gottlieb Duttweiler Institute|date=November 27, 2014|access-date=March 22, 2015|archive-date=June 15, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180615110933/http://www.gdi.ch/en/think-tank|url-status=dead}}</ref> ''Prospect'' magazine's world thinkers 2014 poll,<ref>{{cite web|title=World thinkers 2014: the results|url=http://www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/features/world-thinkers-2014-the-results|website=Prospect|date=April 23, 2014|access-date=March 22, 2015|archive-date=September 28, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190928151452/http://www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/features/world-thinkers-2014-the-results|url-status=dead}}</ref> and Maclean's 2014 Power List.<ref>{{cite web|title=The Maclean's Power List, Part 2|url=http://www.macleans.ca/news/canada/the-macleans-2014-power-list-part-2/|website=Maclean's|date=November 20, 2014}}</ref> She was formerly a member of the board of directors of the climate activist group 350.org.

==Early life and education==

Klein spent much of her teenage years in shopping malls, obsessed with designer labels.<ref name="Hand-to-Brand"/> As a child and teenager, she found it "very oppressive to have a very public feminist mother", and she rejected politics, instead embracing "full-on consumerism".<ref name= "Hand-to-Brand"/>

She has attributed her change in worldview to two catalysts.

==Works==

===''No Logo''===

{{Main|No Logo {{!}} ''No Logo''}} In 1999, Klein published the book ''No Logo'', which for many became a manifesto of the anti-globalization movement. In it, she attacks brand-oriented consumer culture and the operations of large corporations. She also accuses several such corporations of unethically exploiting workers in the world's poorest countries in pursuit of greater profits. In this book, Klein criticized Nike so severely that Nike published a point-by-point response.<ref name="no-logo-nike">{{cite web|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20000416175422/http://nikebiz.com/labor/nologo_let.shtml |archive-date= April 16, 2000 |url= http://nikebiz.com/labor/nologo_let.shtml|title= Nike's response to ''No Logo''|date= March 8, 2000|publisher= Nike}}</ref> ''No Logo'' became an international bestseller, selling over one million copies in over 28 languages.

===''The Shock Doctrine''===

{{Main|The Shock Doctrine {{!}} ''The Shock Doctrine''}} Klein's third book, ''The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism'', was published in 2007. The book argues that the free market policies of Nobel Laureate Milton Friedman and the Chicago school of economics have risen to prominence in countries such as Chile under Pinochet, Poland, and Russia under Yeltsin. The book also argues that policy initiatives (for instance, the privatization of Iraq's economy under the Coalition Provisional Authority) were rushed through while the citizens of these countries were in shock from disasters, upheavals, or invasion. The book became an international and ''New York Times'' bestseller<ref name="Nation-bio"/> and was translated into 28 languages.<ref name="RandomHouse">{{cite web|url=http://www.randomhouse.ca/author/results.pperl?authorid=15909 |title=Author Spotlight: Naomi Klein |access-date=February 17, 2009 |publisher=RandomHouse.ca |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081020111515/http://www.randomhouse.ca/author/results.pperl?authorid=15909 |archive-date=October 20, 2008}}</ref> thumbnail|Klein in 2008 with the Polish edition of ''Shock Doctrine'' Central to the book's thesis is the contention that those who wish to implement unpopular free market policies now routinely do so by taking advantage of certain features of the aftermath of major disasters, be they economic, political, military or natural. The suggestion is that when a society experiences a major 'shock' there is a widespread desire for a rapid and decisive response to correct the situation; this desire for bold and immediate action provides an opportunity for unscrupulous actors to implement policies which go far beyond a legitimate response to disaster. The book suggests that when the rush to act means the specifics of a response will go unscrutinized, that is the moment when unpopular and unrelated policies will intentionally be rushed into effect. The book appears to claim that these shocks are in some cases intentionally encouraged or even manufactured. Klein identifies the "shock doctrine", elaborating on Joseph Schumpeter, as the latest in capitalism's phases of "creative destruction".{{Citation needed|date=October 2021}}

Hurricanes Irma and María unmasked the colonialism we face in Puerto Rico, and the inequality it fosters, creating a fierce humanitarian crisis."<ref name="Haymarket Books/The Battle for Paradise official page">{{cite web |title=The Battle For Paradise |url=https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1235-the-battle-for-paradise |website=Haymarketbooks.org |publisher=Haymarket Books |access-date=June 7, 2018}}</ref> In the book, Klein applies principles outlined in ''The Shock Doctrine'' to describe the management of Puerto Rico in a post-Maria context. She criticizes the inadequate recovery efforts of the Puerto Rican government in the aftermath of the storm. She singles out officeholders like Gov. Ricardo Rosselló, who prioritized foreign investment interests while the island's residents were left to fend for themselves or seek refuge on the U.S. mainland. She notes that less than one year after the hurricane, Rosselló "told a business audience in New York that Maria had created a 'blank canvas'", implying that Puerto Rico would cater to "disaster capitalists" who aimed to profit off the hurricane's devastating effects.<ref name="Haymarket Books/The Battle for Paradise official page" />

===''Doppelganger''=== {{Main|Doppelganger (Klein book) {{!}} ''Doppelganger'' (Klein book)}} Released in September 2023, ''Doppelganger'' is a memoir and social critique that contrasts Klein's worldview with that of Naomi Wolf, a writer who is often mistaken for Klein and vice versa. In her introduction, Klein explains how she has been mistaken for the "other Naomi", with whom she "has been chronically confused for over a decade... I have been confused with Other Naomi for so long and so frequently that I have often felt that she was following me". For this reason, she started to follow what she calls Wolf's "new alliances with some of the most dangerous men on the planet", and wrote the book with the intention of using her doppelganger experience "as a guide into and through what I have come to understand as our doppelganger culture".<ref>{{cite book | last=Klein | first=Naomi | title=Doppelganger: A Trip Into the Mirror World | publisher=Penguin Random House UK | year=2023 | isbn=978-0-241-62131-8 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=J6vvzwEACAAJ | access-date=26 October 2023 | pages=4, 10–11}}</ref>

=== Criticism of Israel === In 2008, Klein was the keynote speaker at the first national conference of the Alliance of Concerned Jewish Canadians (now Independent Jewish Voices). In January 2009, during the Gaza War, Klein supported the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel, arguing that "the best strategy to end the increasingly bloody occupation is for Israel to become the target of the kind of global movement that put an end to apartheid in South Africa."<ref name= "time-for-boycott">{{cite news|url= https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2009/jan/10/naomi-klein-boycott-israel|title= Enough.

In an interview by Graeme Greene in ''New Internationalist'', Klein rejected criticism that ''This Changes Everything'' politicized the climate issue and that the issue should be apolitical, asserting that such criticism reflected "how blind so many within the mainstream climate discussion are to the fact that they themselves are fully immersed within the confines of neoliberalism; ...
