arthuriana's review
3.0
dense and filled with statistics and numerical data, this is far more empirical than what i had expected when i first started out this book. this, alone, is worthy enough rebuttal for the common line that socialists are merely idealists and pay no attention to numbers, because cockshott and cottrell have painstakingly built the groundwork for what i think is a feasible alternative to the neoliberal economics that dominate our markets and our societies today. the only problem i've had with this book is that i'm not myself british, and therefore there are references to services and government offices that i know next to nothing about; but don't get me wrong, this is very well-researched and well-argued.
