Qu'y a-t-il de commun entre le coup d'Etat de Pinochet au Chili, le massacre de Tiananmen, l'effondrement de l'Union soviétique, et d'autres événements marquants comme les attentats du 11 septembre ou le cyclone Katrina ? Naomi Klein répond que tous ces moments sont liés à l'émergence d'un "capitalisme du désastre". Dans son ouvrage, elle approfondit sa réflexion sur les opérations concertées visant à assurer le contrôle par un ultralibéralisme puissant, qui exploite crises et désastres pour remplacer les valeurs démocratiques par la loi du marché et la spéculation. Ce récit, remarquablement documenté, dévoile une histoire secrète du libre marché et propose une nouvelle éthique de l'investigation journalistique. Il s'affirme comme une lecture essentielle pour réévaluer les enjeux contemporains et futurs, soulignant la responsabilité collective des citoyens du monde. Journaliste et essayiste diplômée de la London School of Economics, Klein est l'auteure du best-seller international No Logo, devenu une référence mondiale. Elle contribue régulièrement à des publications telles que The Nation et The Guardian, et a réalisé un film sur l'occupation des usines en Argentine.

Dopo essere stata lasciata dal fidanzato storico, Angela ha il cuore spezzato e il morale a terra. Essere assunta da una prestigiosa agenzia di moda londinese, quindi, sembra proprio l'occasione ideale per ricominciare da capo. In realtà Angela non sa assolutamente nulla di moda, e con la sua taglia 42 viene considerata scandalosamente sovrappeso, ma ha la testa piena di sogni e di entusiasmo. Ben presto si renderà conto di essere atterrata su un altro pianeta, tanto magico e scintillante quanto folle: un mondo dove al colloquio di lavoro il fattore determinante è indossare le scarpe dello stilista giusto, non il curriculum; dove le torte di compleanno si annusano (e poi si buttano via), non si mangiano; dove i cagnolini viziati delle star viaggiano in prima classe; dove a trent'anni il botox è già un must; dove a dettare legge sono l'hair stylist e il make-up artist. E soprattutto dove, tra una vendita di campionario e un party esclusivo, rischi seriamente di ritrovarti con il conto in rosso e di allontanare da te le persone che ami davvero. Oltre a svelare i retroscena più assurdi, divertenti e piccanti dell'industria del glamour, I love fashion racconta la favola moderna di una ragazza come tante alla ricerca della felicità, del vero amore e dell'autentica se stessa.
