Capitalism has created a world of bullshit abundance, where we have too much of what we don’t need and too little of what we do.
Join us in Sheffield on 2 October to hear @KeirMilburn in conversation about the alternative: Radical Abundance ✨

Well done John. My first edition of The Road to Wigan Pier was published by the Left Book Club in 1937 by Gollancz. My Orwell shelf. My Nineteen Eighty Four is a first, taught the novel too. The copy of Animal Farm was owned by Denis Healey and has his signature inside.
