'Blakeley charts a path forward based in hope, democracy and liberation' 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.

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

The dark truth of Capitalism

it's a detailed overview of the history and methodology of capitalism and it's modern neoliberal agenda. At times it was quite depressing to hear about the scale of the impact that greed has damaged society and environment. But there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Excellent book

This should be part of all school teachings, but I doubt it will happen. This book opened by eyes to a lot and it is time for a global change for the betterment of all via democratic process only.

Fantastic Polemic attack on neoliberalism’s so called Free market.

Well structured and easy to understand with fantastic anecdotal stories of organised resistance and actually existing capitalism.

mind blowingly clever and exceptional listen

A joyous listen from start to finish. I was ready and willing at the end of the book to spend my life to make sure capitalism falls

Amazingly read from Ms Blackley and the knowledge she has passed onto us all with this exceptional book full of mind blowing details throughout is truly a gift to the world.

The first audiobook ever from when it ended immediately started it again

5 stars really isnt enough

Infuriating peak into the corruption of todays capitalism, inspiring and hopeful look at real world alternatives

Great breakdown of the current corrupt and criminal systems that govern the world economy. Really liked the chapters on the real examples of alternative movements. Well collated but would have loved even more detail of these stories. Highly recommend
