*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 VAROUFAKISEverything 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.
