Now The Selfish Capitalist provides more detailed substantiation for the claims made in Affluenza  and outlines the political  economic and social climate in which the virus has grown.  A modern-day The State Were In  the books argument will chime with a public deeply disenchanted with all the main political parties. James points out that  since the Seventies  the rich have become much  much richer  yet the average persons wage has not increased at all. He provides a wealth of evidence to show that we have become more miserable and distressed during this time  and suggests that this is a direct consequence of Thatcherite\/Blairite Selfish Capitalism  whose most significant act has been to rob the poor to give to the rich.  The Selfish Capitalist is a rallying cry to reduce levels of distress by adopting a form of unselfish capitalism. It is a hard-hitting and thought-provoking work that tells us why our personal well-being must take precedence over the wealth of a tiny minority if we are to cure ourselves of this disease.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45651924058165,"sku":"ByrdShop_0091923867","price":281.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780091923860.jpg?v=1781845532","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-selfish-capitalist-origins-of-affluenza-9780091923860","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
