Naomi Klein & Astra Taylor
On Friday 20 November, Crossing Border brings an evening of thought-provoking talks and debate to De Regentes. Writers Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor explore the rise of the far right, the growing political influence of tech billionaires and the climate crisis. Drawing on their book End Times Fascism, they discuss these pressing issues in a conversation moderated by political scientist and author Rosan Smits.
Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor have each spent years writing about power, money and politics. Eindtijdfascisme is their first collaboration: an analysis of the forces driving the far right, the role of tech billionaires in public life and the urgency of the climate crisis.
Klein and Taylor on Eindtijdfascisme
The book appeared shortly before this evening. Klein is known for works such as No Logo and The Shock Doctrine; Taylor combines activism with writing and filmmaking. In Eindtijdfascisme they connect their insights into the ideological and financial engines behind current political shifts.
Rosan Smits as moderator
Rosan Smits, political scientist, author and deputy editor-in-chief of De Correspondent, leads the discussion. She brings her own analytical perspective to the themes that Klein and Taylor develop in the book.
