Description
In a little over a generation, the bones and sinews of the British economy have been sold to remote, unaccountable private owners, often from overseas. James Meek explores the human stories behind the incremental privatization of the nation over the last three decades, revealing the impact on ordinary citizens and the shift of the greatest burden of taxes to the poorest. This book is an urgent and passionate anatomy of what has been lost and the cost of losing it - the rent we must pay to exist on this private island.
