Welcome to The Gods That Failed blog.
Our new book was published on 5 June by The Bodley Head, and we've set this up to give ourselves, and the public, the chance to learn about and discuss the economic crisis that we're currently all facing.
It's high time people realised how and why we've reached the state we're now in. The Gods that Failed argues that we need a new system: instead of an increasingly risk-prone, privatised, profit-driven economic model overseen by a largely unaccountable and speculation-obsessed elite, we need an economy that is run and regulated in the interests of ordinary people.

Marxism here we come.
Many people think Marxism = Communism. This is not true. Marx always saw the evolution of capitalism into something that, rather than being the visctims of, we were in control of and could turn to the ordinary person’s benefit. It sounds like this book is arguing something similar. We have been the victims for too long, but the next step is far from simple.
