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.

It’s hard listening to all the facts and figures proving Graces point, but they’re in there I suspect to silence the inevitable doubters

It’s worth listening right to the end, it’s epic, there’s a way forward for us humans and if we chose new paths everything will be better than just alright

Spread the word!

A very bright glimmer of hope for us all!

I liked how the author, Grace Blakely, used real world examples to illustrate the arguments in the book.

Accessible history of how we got here and powerful solutions in moving forward

Probably the most important book written so far this century on economics and a must read for anyone interested in learning the vocabulary for cutting through the overwhelming amount of rationalist economic propaganda that we are all exposed to within the 24/7 news cycle.
Thank you so much Grace Blakeley!!!

Awesome

This is a painful listen from the start to chapter 3 where I aborted…. No common thread binds the snippets of biased cherry picking together.

Diatribe galore.
