The Corona Crash

Praise

“The only solution, [Blakeley] believes, is an enormous global Green New Deal. It would be hard to find a purer iteration of the socialist critique of modern capitalism in a pandemic age.”
—Zachary Karabell, New York Times Book Review

“One of the most inspiring, thought-provoking and insightful voices on the left.”
—Owen Jones, author of Chavs

“Grace Blakeley asserts the need for Covid-19 to be a global wake-up call.”
—Guardian (“Biggest Books of Autumn 2020”)

“Blakeley asks the question: if we are already living in a planned economy, shouldn’t those making the decisions be subject to scrutiny? Shouldn’t the plans that determine how we live our lives be decided democratically?”
—Labour Hub

“An urgent read … inspiring and thought-provoking, offering expansive resolutions in line with the Green New Deal that could transform our political, economic, and social systems.”
—Anna Cafolla, Dazed

“An excellent exposition of pre-Covid trends towards parasitic dependence of corporate and financial capital on state monetary policy.”
—Bryn Jones, Chartist

“Illuminating … Blakeley connects the dots and draws out the economic and political processes that have led from the postwar boom … to the current ‘corona crash.’”
—Socialist Appeal
