  The purpose of this book is to call for a wholesale rethinking of the way that markets treat both the labour and natural resources on which we all depend. From Adam Smith to the present day, economic theory has short-changed the workers most crucial to the functioning of human life and offered skewed views of scarcity and extraction.
