Book read: Postcapitalism By Paul Mason

I've watched Paul Mason on Newsnight since 2008 and the economic crisis.  He quit there to move to Channel 4 where he could air his more well left of centre views.  He writes about the effects of big business on indviduals, industrial decline, globalisation and abusive employment.

This books is very well researched, you might not agree with everything he says - but it gives a good history of how we got to where we are and what are the possible ways out that would build a better society for all and not just for an over privileged few.
