Everyone has an opinion. But no one has an answer. Why?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor decades the UK economy has failed ordinary people. A small minority make obscene profits, while the rest are plagued by stagnant wages, underemployment, and the rising cost of basic goods like healthcare, education and housing. Meanwhile, we hurtle headlong towards an environmental emergency. There is no shortage of anger and anti-elite sentiment expressed in 'the culture wars.' But no challenge to our current economic model has broken into the mainstream.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe pound and the fury\u003c\/i\u003e argues that behind this failure of imagination are a set of myths about how the economy works. Myths that stifle debate and block change. This book analyses the origins of these myths. It asks how they might be dispelled at a time when, away from the public gaze, economic theory is opening up new possibilities of economic action. Possibilities that, as we emerge from the chaos of COVID-19, could lead to the radical structural changes we desperately need.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA gripping and brilliant examination of the lies and misconceptions that keep the UK in a state of furious paralysis, Jack Mosse's passionate debut forces us to cut through the noise and look for real solutions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47920518201502,"sku":"ING-9781526158802","price":33.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781526158802.jpg?v=1782822953","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781526158802","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
