Product Description
Review
In this passionate plea for restoring controls over global capitalism, the authors describe a world pulled out of shape by the culture and values of big business in which the rip tides of footloose capital swirl around the world destabilizing entire economies overnight; in which people are anxious as never before about job security, pensions, environmental degradation and a major 1930s-style economic crash; and in which governments of the poetical left seem to be abandoning their traditional values and supporters in favour of appeasing big business. Sobering and convincing. (Kirkus UK)
Product Description
In the face of a planet-wide takeover by untrammelled finance, voters have turned increasingly away from the political champions of the free market to those whose social democractic traditions might seem to offer some sense of protection and order. However, traditionally left-leaning parties now in power have directed their regulatory enthusiasm not at the giants of finance and industry, but at individual liberty and public morals. The authors of this work provide an argument for government to turn rapidly developing surveillance technology and strictures concerning ethics away from the citizen and onto a financial system that is making society ever more precarious.
