I've been meaning to read that. I listened to an interview she gave and it was great.
I actually haven't read it (hehe) but the interviews that I've watched from the author have me excited to start it, I'm just working on finishing my Harvey's "Anti-capitalist Chronicles" with the little free time I have to read these days 😩
Even the bits and blurbs from her interviews live rent-free in my head, largely because there is massive austerity taking place in (and ramping up) throughout Canada, the US, and elsewhere. It seems wickedly timely
