'This book is essential reading for making sense of society, digging into the realities of class for young people today. It shows how deeply Britain is shaped by class, while also charting out ways people can collectively change this' -- Jamie Woodcock, co-author of 'The Gig Economy: A Critical Introduction' 'More than a decade after the financial crisis, Split is a timely reminder of the most important divide that runs through the global economy, and how working people can organise to take back control of their lives. Clearly-argued, incisive and accessible, this book should be required reading for activists everywhere' -- Grace Blakeley, author of 'Stolen: How to Save the World from Financialisation'
