Longer working hours, later retirement, lousy pensions - hardly the life of leisure we were promised for the 21st century! So what went wrong and what can we do about it?

If you're interested in the Real Economics of real resources and real people's lives, and not the bullshit we often get from politicians, you may want to read this book:

From the preface:

This is a book about the Real Economics of real people, written in plain English. It is a book about appalling failings and the appalling ignorance of the people who have been allowed to run our economy. It is also, however, a book about a better future - about what we, as individuals and as a society, could become if only we stopped wasting our resources and our talents. It is a book about a potential economic miracle - but to achieve that miracle, we first need to understand where we are now and how we got here!
