Beschreibung

*A Foyles Top 10 Read for March and one of Glamour's Best Books of March* Longlisted for the inaugural Women's Prize for Non-Fiction 'A galvanising takedown of neoliberalism's "free market" logic, one rooted in as much history as it is in current events' NAOMI KLEIN 'A must-read for anyone keen to put the demos back in democracy' YANIS VAROUFAKIS Everything you know about capitalism is wrong. Free markets aren't really free. Record corporate profits don't trickle down to everyone else. And we aren't empowered to make our own choices - they're made for us every day. In Vulture Capitalism, acclaimed journalist Grace Blakeley takes on the world's most powerful corporations by showing how the causes of our modern crisis are the intended result of our capitalist system. It's not broken, it's working exactly as planned. From JPMorgan to Boeing, Henry Ford to Richard Nixon, Blakeley shows us exactly where late-stage capitalism has gone wrong. Searing, explosive and timely, Vulture Capitalism is the book you need to understand what is happening in the world around you - and what you can do to change it. 'Read this book if you want to make fundamental changes to the world' HA-JOON CHANG 'If you've ever wondered why you (and everyone you know) feel so out of control of the world around you, this book will give you the answer' ASH SARKAR
