It\u2019s increasingly obvious that the global economic system, and particularly the current brand of U.S. capitalism, are not really compatible with the actions needed to combat climate change.Naomi Klein makes this point clear in \u201cThis Changes Everything,\u201d which is both a passionate and controversial polemic and a reasoned discussion of the issues and forces stalling, and indeed preventing, a comprehensive response to climate change.The problem is not the political and ideological divisions or scientific \u201cdebate,\u201d which are hard enough to deal with \u2014 it\u2019s mainly about money, according to Klein.
