The author not only gives more than just one reason, why and how come the important historical economic theories are outdated, if they did not become straight obsolete. Instead of it all, she presents the reader a rational, new alternative with a fitting theoretical basis. Herself having attachments with Oxfam, the organization, which reached the news several times because of accusations of neo-colonial behavior of its members. One can suspect the author therefor of holding the common socialist views of the left. That said, the book is at least an important, if not an essential read for anybody, who is willing to think about the status quo of today in matters of environment, social justice and the still existing global poverty with its debilitating side-effects. Besides being a financial-economic almanac for folks with socialist views, the book is also an interesting read for the liberal minded, who like to consider the alternative solutions for tomorrow of the problems mentioned before. My advice though, before one should decide to give everyone on earth a basic income, an issue discussed in the book, one should first take a better look at the mere effects of such in social misconduct and social derailing in countries like the Netherlands, where one forgot to take the ‘human factor’ into account. Because, as we all should know meanwhile, at the end of the day (wo)men are not born as angels.
