Enough

The story is all too familiar. The obscene wealth of the super-rich is locked away while millions are reduced to poverty. The global economy becomes more farcical by the day, and no major political party is stepping forward to even suggest redistribution. The 0.1% have pulled the wool over our eyes, until now. In Enough, Luke Hildyard shows how the international super-rich is far from hard-working, innovative, and philanthropic, but are in fact the people behind the biggest scam today – the scam that is keeping us poor. Tax and redistribution are not enough. Hildyard shows that it is reasonable to demand a change to the very structure of our economy and our culture in order to solve the problem of extreme inequality. It has gone too far – and this is the start of a new conversation to end it.
