It's All About Money: It may surprise you but our financial system was not designed to make life simple

Martin Wolf, Paul Krugman, Adair Turner, Niall Ferguson, Robert Peston, Ben Bernanke, Timothy Geithner, Mervyn King and Thomas Piketty are just some of those who have tried to explain the staggering inequality, financial instability, environmental destruction and political conflict and confusion that exist today. These problems are not new. Two centuries ago Shelley urged the many to rise like lions in unvanquishable number. He told them that victory was assured because they were many and the oppressors were few. In 2014 Naomi Klein wrote that the cataclysmic threat of global warming would finally change everything. And the same year Russell Brand, incensed by social injustice, wrote Revolution - the problems remain. By analysing the thoughts presented in books written by more than a dozen experts, It's All About Money shows just what it is that will allow us to say that this really has changed everything and a revolution for the human race can start.
