Breaking with the Past Notes IndexReviews'Turner argues that we urgently need a thorough rethink of the shareholder model that blindly chases short-term profit and denies a voice to workers - and, indeed, to small investors' -- New Statesman 'Graham Turner is one of only a handful of economists to understand the roots of the current financial crisis, its implications for all of us and - crucially - what should be done now. I strongly recommend you read this book' Larry Elliott, Guardian 'A timely analysis of the pressures on world money markets and the fundamental weaknesses in the global financial system. Graham Turner is a clear and independent voice in a confused and noisy world.' Hamish McRae, Independent Turner argues that we urgently need a thorough rethink of the shareholder model that blindly chases short-term profit and denies a voice to workers - and, indeed, to small investors. And you don't have to be a Marxist to think he has a point. -- New Statesman Author InformationGraham Turner is the founder of GFC Economics an independent economic consultancy which provides forecasting services for some of the world's largest banks.
