Подзаголовок: How remote politics wrecked britain
Рейтинг:
Поставляется из: Англии
Описание: Britain is in a long-distance relationship with reality...From poverty and policing, homelessness and overrun prisons to Grenfell and hostile environments, Britain has long been failing those who need our help the most. There is arguably one unifying theme that links all these afflictions: proximity. Proximity is how close we are to the action and how that affects how we assess, relate to and address whatever that action happens to be. Almost every job requires a level of experience and training with the notable exception of the most powerful people in the country - our political class. So this is a book about the distance, whether geographical, economic, or cultural, between those who make decisions and the people on the receiving end of them. The distance between the affluent and the poor, how their interests and values diverge, and the assumptions they make about each others experiences and intentions in the absence of any meaningful interaction. How even those with the noblest aims, inadvertently cause harm as a result of their social remoteness and fail to advance anybodys interests but their own misguided ones.Could Britains problem be, not that there is a lot of inequality, but that for generations, a small group of people, who know little about it, have been charged with discussing, debating, and sorting it out? At what point do we look for answers, not to the people who are hardest up, but the apparently educated and sophisticated, whose dominance of Britains institutions has been virtually unbroken for centuries?Praise for Darren McGarvey:The standout, authentic voice of a generation Herald Utterly compelling Ian Rankin, New Statesman Brilliant Russell Brand An absolutely fascinating individual Owen Jones Offer[s] an antidote to populist anger that transcends left and right... articulate and emotional Financial Times McGarvey is a rarity: a working-class writer who has fought to make the middle-class world hear what he has to say Nick Cohen, Guardian

Описание: Understanding the Anger of Britain`s Underclass. People from deprived communities all around Britain feel misunderstood and unheard. Darren McGarvey aka Loki gives voice to their feelings and concerns, and the anger that is spilling over. Anger he says we will have to get used to, unless things change. He invites you to come on a safari of sorts. A Poverty Safari. But not the sort where the indigenous population is surveyed from a safe distance for a time, before the window on the community closes and everyone gradually forgets about it.

Описание: "Thrilling, sexy and hilarious." "The most delightfully amoral character since Dexter." "Hair Trigger is a fast-paced, tightly plotted noir set in the mean streets of today's Detroit. It features a likeable "hero" who just happens to be a stone-cold killer with a winning sense of humor. He could well be a successor to Donald E. Westlake's wonderfully amoral super crook Parker." PEACE, LOVE, and UNDERSTANDING don't appear in the lexicon of professional killers Rip Hunter and his partner Wilma. They have their own set of rules. It's what's made them successful for the past fifteen years and, more importantly, what's kept them alive. -Never use the same gun twice -Always get half the money upfront -Never use real names -Always be neat and discreet But times are tough in Detroit, especially in the murder-for-hire business. When Rip breaks one of their cardinal rules out of pure greed, it sets off a cascade of calamity and they find themselves on the run from killers more ruthless than they are.

Описание: Rip and Wilma are back in action Get ready for more Motor City mayhem as Detroit's most outrageous contract killers return for another nasty and hilarious caper. When Rip and Wilma are hired to find the killer of a well-known state senator, the job should be easy - especially since they're the ones who killed him in the first place But with every step they take, the pursuit becomes hopelessly more complicated until they find themselves embroiled with a shadowy organization that just might be the most dangerous adversary they've ever faced. Double Tap takes Rip and Wilma from Motown to the Swiss Alps, and from a maximum security prison into the eye of a raging hurricane. Along the way they have to dodge badass bikers, crooked cops, killer lumberjacks, satanic cults, and horny rhinos.

After barely surviving her last case, Molly is looking forward to nothing more than kicking back and enjoying the Independence Day weekend. Unfortunately, a murderer has other plans.

At least Molly doesn't think so.Along with a homicide to solve, Molly also has to babysit Wall Street's most notorious fraud artist. What she doesn't know is that he is being stalked by the Grim Assassins, a righteous trio of self-styled avengers of crimes against the economy who will stop at nothing to reap their vengeance. As if her life isn't complicated enough, Molly finds herself attracted to a charming federal agent with secrets of his own.Fireworks, gunplay, and murder guarantee this Fourth of July in Sunset will be a memorable one."Molly Parsons is a beguiling character who fully deserves to be the star of a long, successful series of return engagements." Don Hutchison, author of The Great Pulp Heroes"I was delighted by the surprising plot twists, rich character development ... " Ted Rushton, Amazon starred reviewer
