Synopsis
This book considers the social and economic damage wrought by neo-liberalism, in Britain and beyond. Paul Taylor analyses the effects of the increasing inequalities of income and wealth in recent years, concluding that a wide range of problems for the middle sections of society can be traced to the appearance of a class of the 'über-rich', the example they set and the demands they make. He takes the view that what has happened is the opposite of the much vaunted 'trickle-down effect'; there is actually a 'trickle-up effect' not only in the distribution of wealth but also in the ownership of property and access to education, medicine and the law. He goes on to look at the government's failure to deal effectively with these problems, putting them in the context of the need to deal with the threat of terrorism and the effects of globalization. The book is highly relevant to the current crisis in the global financial system, especially with regard to its effects in the UK and USA, but it places that crisis in the context of wider developments., This book considers the social and economic damage wrought by neo-liberalism, both in Britain and beyond.

- u***u (689)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseCarefully packaged book- arrived wrapped in plastic bag and shipped in cardboard box. As a frequent book buyer I appreciate this as so many books are just crammed into a plastic shopping bag and sent on their way- sometimes always hanging out of the bag. I know that Midtown Book Seller books will arrive as described. Shipped promptly. I’d highly recommend them as a seller.
- c***i (102)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseBook was in very good condition as described in the listing. It looked almost new, in fact, but the pages did have some yellowing around the edges, a sign of its age. The seller did an excellent job of wrapping and packing the book for shipment, which I greatly appreciate! He has earned his 100% feedback rating, I'd say. I'm extremely pleased with the seller and this transaction. Thank you!
- i***t (265)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseStaff were excellent communicators and gave top notch customer service to ensure correct copy sent from overseas. Postage reasonable against other US booksellers (most now charging inflated post-covid rates) & for a heavy book. Even had tracking! Book arrived immaculately packed, still partly in shrink wrap and new (small marks only)- purchase exceeded all expectations (especially happy considering a $$$ art book). Highly recommend this seller 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Cynthia Daignault: Light Atlas (GREGORY R. MILL), Campany, David,Nemerov, Alexan (#375563703219)
