Supercrash - Darryl Cunningham

. .

Résumé :
Darryl Cunningham?s latest investigation takes us to the heart of free-world politics and the financial crisis, as he traces the roots of bankrupt countries to the domination of right-wing policies and the people who created them. Cunningham draws a fascinating portrait of the New Right and the charismatic Ayn Rand, whose soirees were attended by the young Alan Greenspan. He shows how the Neo-Cons hijacked the economic debate and led the way to a world dominated by the market. Smaller countries, such as Greece, have paid the price for joining a club that held impossible membership rules. He examines the neurological basis of political thinking and asks why it is so difficult for us to change our minds ? even when faced with powerful evidence that a certain course of action is not working. Cunningham?s spare yet eloquent prose, perfectly complemented by the beauty and clarity of his artwork, delivers a devastating analysis of our economic world. Darryl Cunningham is also the author of Graphic Science (Myriad, 2017), Science Tales (Myriad, 2019) and Billionaires (Myriad, 2019)....
