Share Power: How ordinary people can change the way that capitalism works - and make money too
Merryn will take us deep into the world of corporate capitalism – from the privatisation of state-owned companies in the 1980s to the financial crash of 2008 and the growth of the modern multinational – to show us how capitalism went wrong and how, with six simple recommendations, every one of us now has the power to make it work for us.
