OverviewThe story is all too familiar. The obscene wealth of the super-rich is locked away while millions are reduced to poverty. The British economy becomes more farcical by the day, and no major political party is stepping forward to even suggest redistribution. The 1% have pulled the wool over our eyes, until now. In Enough, Luke Hildyard shows how the super-rich are far from hard-working, innovative and philanthropic, but are in fact the people behind the biggest scam today - the scam that is keeping us poor. Tax and redistribution are not enough. Hildyard shows that it is reasonable to demand a change to the very structure of our economy and our culture in order to address inequality and raise living standards for the majority. It has gone too far - and this is the start of a new conversation to end it.
