De 'vrije markt' is in werkelijkheid een planeconomie van de superrijken Oorlog, klimaatcrisis, polarisatie en ongelijkheid: kijk naar de wereld en je voelt je al snel machteloos. Zonder kapitalisme geen welvaart, is ons altijd verteld. Maar als de economie wankelt, waarom redden overheden dan grote bedrijven en aandeelhouders, maar laten ze gewone mensen aan hun lot over? Grace Blakeley legt het corrupte systeem bloot dat overal om ons heen faalt. Ze neemt ons mee op een reis langs honder...
