pickWell-worth reading, and only the last chapter was out of date ('Farageland' - we've had 2 elections & Brexit since this was updated in Jan 15 - Meek's thoughts are still relevant but the UK has changed just a little!)
Mostly, though, Meek takes an example from each of the major industries that have been privatised in the UK, looks at how it happened, who benefitted, & whether there were alternatives. And it's shocking!
Be prepared to rant 😡
Reading about the privatisation of the UK energy industry. The proposals for Hinkley C were 'disturbing' in 2015, and they're just plain ridiculous today. So on we go.
Sometimes dry, ranty reading is just what's required on a Sunday morning.

Continuing my nonfiction phase with a book about privatisation (I know!) - I really ought to get off Verso's mailing list - they keep pointing out things I need to read! Given we're in the world of politics and social economics (not sure if that's even a thing...), this is surprisingly readable so far. And I now know a shocking amount about the Dutch postal system!
