Wednesday the 24th November: Red Plenty

Just in case it wasn't obvious, this blog is only irregularly updated - best to email and join the mailing list to keep up-to-date. After reading The Shock Doctrine, The Blank Slate and sections of The Origins Of Totalitarianism over the summer we're now starting on Francis Spufford's Red Plenty.

There's a free sample and a review by Steven Rose.
