'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
'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 pro-fits 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
