Taking Back Control : Putting Work, Money, Politics and the Media in the Hands of the People Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

We are led to believe that an endemic of overwork, debt, the underfunding of public services, gross inequality and poor mental health are sadly unavoidable.

That welfare recipients must be cynically assessed for their worthiness of our hard-earned taxes and that migrants are competing for scarcely available jobs.

That there is little alternative to the corrupt and unrepresentative politicians who are given license to make all the important decisions for, but effectively without, us. Taking Back Control dispels these myths through a provocative critique of work, money, politics, and the media. After establishing the scale of the tasks ahead and why people themselves need to be the vanguard for progressive change, alternatives are offered to break with any reluctant acquiescence to the spiralling inequality and divisions sustained among the populace. Our prize for taking on this task? A utopian Britain.
