Description

Bloomsbury presents Vulture Capitalism, written and read by Grace Blakeley. * Longlisted for the inaugural Women's Prize for Non-Fiction * * A Foyles Top 10 Read for March and one of Glamour's Best Books of March * 'Blakeley charts a path forward based in hope, democracy and liberation' 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. Taking on the world's most powerful figures and corporations – from JP Morgan to Boeing, Jeff Bezos to Donald Trump – Vulture Capitalism uncovers the causes of our modern crisis to reveal the true motives of our capitalist system. Because it isn't broken: it's working exactly as planned. This 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
