.
= Focus =
The book focuses on brand, and often makes connections with the anti-globalization movement. Throughout the four parts ( No Space , No Choice , No Jobs , and No Logo ), Klein writes about sweatshops (also known as Export processing zone-EPZ) in the Americas and Asia, culture jamming, corporation censorship, Reclaim the Streets, and much more. She pays special attention to the deeds (and alleged misdeeds) of Nike, Inc., McDonald s Corporation, Royal Dutch Shell, and Microsoft and their lawyers, contractors, and advertising agency.
= Influence =
Many of the ideas in Klein s book derive from the influence of the Situationists, a radical art/political group founded in the late 1950s. Radiohead s Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood have stated that the book was particularly influential in the making of their group s fourth album, Kid A .
= Editions =
