AUTHOR APPROVED Will our addiction to profit destroy the world we live in? The profit motive now exercises an effective tyranny over our lives: in the private as well as the public sector, nowhere seems immune from its reach. International tycoons, economists and politicians are obsessed with economic growth. Yet, as Stuart Sim shows, the pursuit of excessive profit brought the world to the brink of economic chaos in the recent credit crisis and threatens us with environmental disaster as well. Despite this, neoliberalism still sets the agenda for economic policy in the West. Sim suggests various 'act up' strategies so that we might resist becoming slaves to personal gain and, in doing so, he demonstrates that life needn't be all about profit. Stuart Sim is a sharp critic of our times, always on top of the latest issues. His many books include Empires of Belief, Manifesto for Silence, The Carbon Footprint Wars and The End of Modernity. He is currently a Professor in the Department of English and Creative Writing at Northumbria University.
