'I couldn’t put it down! An extremely cathartic and energising read for anyone who’s angry about the state of the world today. Hopeful and exciting. Funny and heartbreaking all at once. I enjoyed it so much that once I finished I started reading it again. I want to read more books like this!' * Mikaela Loach, author and climate justice activist * ‘I love the anarchy and hilarity and the arrow-sharp way Anders Lustgarten describes what’s so fucked up about our society. I wouldn’t be surprised if it became a handbook for the revolution. I just loved it!’ * Patrick Alley, co-founder of Global Witness * 'This is a breathtaking book. At its base, there are penetrating analyses of the ills of our economy and society today, but you don't even notice that they are there because it is a ripping and heartfelt story, pure and simple. Let's all read it!' * Ha-Joon Chang, author of 23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism and Edible Economics *
