• No Nonsense Guide to World Poverty - Verso
  By Jeremy Seabrook, published by Verso The world is getting richer. Trade increases every year. More people than ever before are working, so why do so many of them live in abject poverty? This book investigates why the poor are getting poorer and the rich richer. Jeremy Seabrook uses the experiences of poor people—both in the so-called 'third world' and in the pockets of poverty in rich nations—to examine the meaning and reasons behind poverty. This radically concludes that sufficiency (rather than wealth) is what the poor actually aspire to and that will only be possible if the rich examine what sufficiency means in the context of their lifestyles. Ever increasing growth for all is not theoretically achievable nor practically possible. As Gandhi summed it up “Live simply that others may simply live.” It won't be a comfortable read but it will change the way you think—forever. About the Author Formerly a teacher, a social worker and a playwright, Jeremy Seabrook has written more than thirty books, including the acclaimed In the Cities of the South, The No-Nonsense Guide to Class, Caste and Hierarchies and most recently, Children from Other Worlds. ISBN: 1859845665 Format: Paperback; 17.5cm x 11cm, 144 pages Weight: 130 grammes Published: April 2004

• The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Power - Constable and Robinson
  By Joel Bakan, 240 pagesAuthor Balkan assertion: the most powerful class of institution on the planet, the corporation, controls the world, stealing and killing anything or anyone who interferes with its relentless pursuit of profit.Noam Chomsky, Ph.D., Professor of Linguistics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and author of 9-11, said about The Corporation, This fine book was virtually begging to be written. With lucidity and verve, expert knowledge and incisive analysis, Joel Bakan unveils the history and the character of a devilish instrument that has been created and is nurtured by powerful modern states. They have endowed their creature with the rights of persons -- and by now, rights far exceeding persons of flesh and blood -- but a person that is pathological by nature and by law, and systematically crushes democracy, freedom, rights, and the natural human instincts on which a decent life and even human survival depends: the modern corporation. This incisive study should be read carefully, and pondered. And it should be a stimulus to constructive action -- not at all beyond our means, as the author outlines.Once you've digested The Corporation (hopefully before it consumes you!), share your sentiments in our Bookclub point-of-view board.
