'A must-read for anyone keen to put the demos back in democracy' YANIS VAROUFAKIS
Everything you know about capitalism is wrong.
Free markets arenβt really free. Record corporate profits donβt trickle down to everyone else. And we arenβt empowered to make our own choices β theyβre made for us every day.
Taking on the worldβs most powerful figures and corporations β from JP Morgan to Boeing, Jeff Bezos to Donald Trump β Vulture Capitalism uncovers the causes of our modern crisis to reveal the true motives of our capitalist system. Because it isnβt broken: itβs working exactly as planned.
This is the book you need to understand what is happening in the world around you β and what you can do to change it.
'Read this book if you want to make fundamental changes to the world' HA-JOON CHANG
