'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
Book Information

Ein unglaublich wichtiges Buch, dass wirklich bis ins kleinste Detail beschreibt, an welcher Stelle sich der Kapitalismus bzw. Neoliberalismus in die heutige Form entwickelt hat und welche politischen Folgen das bis heute für westliche Gesellschaften und insbesondere für Demokratie hat. Zudem werden im letzten Kapitel Beispiele aufgezeigt, wie es in einer idealen Gesellschaft sein könnte und ich hatte nach Abschluss des Buches immer wieder Schwierigkeiten damit, dass wir noch nicht dort angekommen sind.
