Description
Book SynopsisFrom 'scroungers' to 'strivers' we need a new class story.
Trade Review'More than a decade after the financial crisis, Split is a timely reminder of the most important divide that runs through the global economy, and how working people can organise to take back control of their lives. Clearly-argued, incisive and accessible, this book should be required reading for activists everywhere'
-- Grace Blakeley, author of 'Stolen: How to Save the World from Financialisation'
