Join Naomi Klein in conversation with journalist Ishmael N. Daro exploring the staggeringly high stakes of our immediate political and economic choices. In her new collection of essays, On Fire: The (Burning) Case for a Green New Deal  Klein investigates the climate crisis not only as a profound political challenge but as a spiritual and imaginative one, as well. Klein makes the case that we will rise to the existential challenge of climate change only if we are willing to transform the systems that produced this crisis.
