Corporations at the very heart of power -- New Internationalist
Ready for #18oct? Read Owen Jones' call for a democratic revolution.
Owen Jones’ latest book, The Establishment: And how they get away with it
(Allen Lane), is a pithy retelling of recent political scandals,
studded with dozens of revealing interviews with power brokers.
It has hugely important things to say about the state of our
democracy, the shocking pace at which the gains of the post-war
settlement (the National Health Service (NHS),
the welfare state) are being rolled back, and the extent to which
bankers and corporations are now sitting at the very heart of power. It
concludes with a call for a democratic revolution and sets out proposals
for reform.
