For decades, it has been easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism.  In the decade leading up to the 2008 financial crisis, booming banks, rising house prices and cheap consumer goods propped up living standards in the rich world. Thirty years of rocketing debt and financial wizardry had masked the deep underlying fragility of finance-led growth, and in 2008 we were forced to pay up.  The decade since has witnessed all kinds of morbid symptoms, as all around the rich world, wages and productivity are stagnant, inequality is rising, and ecological systems are collapsing. Stolen is a history of finance-led growth and a guide as to how we might escape it. We've sat back as financial capitalism has stolen our economies, our environment and even the future itself. Now, we have an opportunity to change course. What happens next is up to us.]]></description><link>https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S152C1735432</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S152C1735432</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Blakeley, Grace]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1735432152</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>How to Save the World From Financialisation</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Burnout]]></title><description><![CDATA[Technology was supposed to free up our time to do the things we enjoy, but we are busier than ever, working longer hours, with 24/7 communication access, chasing ever-increasing targets. This film looks at the history of work and how we came to place it at the center of our lives. With a major study now revealing that one day a week is the ideal dose for mental health and wellbeing, how can we justify unnecessary work when it has such profound consequences for the planet? We hear from leading thinkers on the subject and ordinary people who have been forced to change their lives. We look at the future of work and potential solutions to our current problems.]]></description><link>https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S152C2116108</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S152C2116108</guid><category><![CDATA[DVD]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://multcolib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2116108152</comments><format>DVD</format><subtitle>The Truth About Work</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=/MC.GIF&amp;client=multp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1371260315&amp;upc=810071446214</image_url></item></channel></rss>
