THE OTHER NAOMI

naomi klein has been an important and useful individual in the war against reason in this world, especially the american corner of it, whose tentacles reach almost everywhere, and she has a great ally in the form of naomi oreskes, an academic with an uncommon ability to inject common sense and even a sense of humor into the struggle. her knowledge and deep understanding of the politics of special interests, along with an irrepressible optimism, is precisely what the public, the american public, and especially the american student public, needs most in this time of trumpism, a tired and not-at-all new set of assumptions that have never been less elegantly promoted or less appropriate or useful in addressing the very real existential threats that exist today.
