from Wikipedia:
Naomi Klein (born May 8, 1970) is a Canadian author, social activist, and filmmaker known for her political analyses and criticism of corporate globalization and of capitalism.[1] She first became known internationally for her book No Logo (1999); then for The Take, a documentary film about Argentina’s occupied factories that was written by Klein and directed by her husband Avi Lewis; and The Shock Doctrine (2007), a critical analysis of the history of neoliberal economics that was adapted into a six-minute companion film by Alfonso and Jonás Cuarón,[2] as well as a feature-length documentary by Michael Winterbottom.[3]Just another example of Canadians influencing American politics (and you thought it was a bunch of Russians!)
This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate (2014) was a New York Times non-fiction bestseller and the winner of the Hilary Weston Writers' Trust Prize for Nonfiction in its year.[4] In 2016 Klein was awarded the Sydney Peace Prize for her activism on climate justice.[5] Klein frequently appears on global and national lists of top influential thinkers, including the 2014 Thought Leaders ranking compiled by the Gottlieb Duttweiler Institute,[6] Prospect magazine's world thinkers 2014 poll,[7] and Maclean's 2014 Power List.[8] She is a member of the board of directors of the climate activist group 350.org.[9]
