The writer and activist Naomi Klein reached an international audience with her first book, the best-selling No Logo, a rallying cry against the power of corporate brands and the replacement of traditional manufacturing jobs with sweatshop labour.

Since then, she's turned her intellectual ire on to even bigger terrain - the political and economic systems underpinning capitalism and climate change. The way to save the planet, she says, requires a radical rethink which will address what she calls the "unresolved tensions" between big business and over-consumption.

It's no surprise then that her fierce broadsides against the free market ideology have attracted plaudits and opprobrium in equal measure. But, coming from a family steeped in political activism, such polarized reactions come with the territory. Her grandparents were fervent Marxists and she was born in Canada to American activist parents who fled the US in protest against the Vietnam War. Her mother is a feminist filmmaker while her doctor father was heavily involved with the natural birth movement.

Growing up in the 1980s, she was a committed shopper and self-confessed "teeny bopper." But at 19 she experienced a dramatic political awakening - after that, she says, "you had to call yourself a feminist."



作家和活动家纳奥米-克莱因通过她的第一本书--最畅销的《没有标志》，向国际读者发出了反对企业品牌的力量和用血汗工厂的劳动取代传统制造业工作的号召。

从那时起，她将她的智慧之怒转向了更大的领域--支撑资本主义和气候变化的政治和经济体系。她说，拯救地球的方法需要一个彻底的反思，这将解决她所说的大企业和过度消费之间 "未解决的紧张关系"。

因此，她对自由市场意识形态的激烈抨击吸引了同样多的赞美和指责，这并不奇怪。但是，来自于一个浸淫于政治活动的家庭，这种两极化的反应是与生俱来的。她的祖父母是狂热的马克思主义者，她出生在加拿大，父母是美国活动家，为抗议越南战争而逃离美国。她的母亲是一位女权主义电影制片人，而她的医生父亲则大量参与了自然分娩运动。

在20世纪80年代的成长过程中，她是一个坚定的购物者，自认为是 "十几岁的小姑娘"。但在19岁时，她经历了一次戏剧性的政治觉醒--在那之后，她说，"你必须称自己为女权主义者"。
