This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs The Climate by Naomi Klein. Klein, who has written extensively on the proximity and enormity of the climate crisis takes a new a pragmatic approach to the problem that coincides with our mission. She admits that some changes will not happen- human nature forbids it- but approaching the problem with redefining the rules of our systems and rethinking our way of life in a non combative, no winner take all approach can yield a pathway to a viable future.
