In this captivating book Amelia Horgan explores work as a dominant feature of capitalism and examines how our day-to-day lives are deeply influenced by capitalist ideology. This is an anti-capitalist manifesto Karl Marx himself would be proud of, which challenges long withstanding myths and provides the necessary analytical tools for a critical engagement with the status quo. Horgan develops a comprehensible theoretical framework that inspires action and - maybe even more importantly - hope that things can still change. She ends with a heartfelt call for unionising which takes on new urgency in view of the recent developments in workers' rights all over the world.

This book has had something of a miraculous resurrection. A few months ago, it looked like it could well be pulped and its author sued for libel after one of his subjects took offence at a less than flattering portrait. British libel laws are such that a writer facing an oligarch in court is not felt to stand much of a chance and there was a strong feeling in the publishing world that Tom Burgis would be required to cough up a considerable sum of cash. For once however, the British courts sided with the little guy and dismissed the case, allowing this excellent book to continue its life out in the wild. Although technical and at times a bit opaque on financial detail, it is an extremely well put together account of how dodgy money (very often channelled through London) can be moved around the world and continuing enriching both its very questionable owners and their willing accessories.

In Kapuscinski's strange, genre-defying work, a choir of former courtiers whispers to him about the extravagances and eventual decline of the Ethiopian monarchy. The book sits somewhere between oral history and reportage but its strange magic is wrought through the voices of the disgraced king's servants, now in hiding and only to be met through secret doors. They describe the lavish palace, the absurd rituals and the absolute power of the king that everyone had to scrape under. Their flowery language of adoration and servitude masks hidden depths of resentment and glee. It is this contradiction, as well as the observations on possibly the last absolutist monarchy, that make this book the astonishing masterpiece it is.
