Description: "In the wake of the global financial crisis and ongoing savage government spending cuts across the world, Gary Leech addresses a pressing and necessary topic: the nature of contemporary capitalism and how it inherently generates inequality and structural violence. ... [The book] questions the legitimacy of a system that inevitably results in such large-scale human suffering, whole going beyond critique to offer a more egalitarian, democratic and sustainable global alternative."--Back cover.
