How Did We Get Into This Mess? by George Monbiot
4.0
The Value of Everything
An excellent selection of essays from a voice that I was shocked to find exists primarily in The Guardian newspaper in Britain. Despite being a left leaning paper, I would hardly count it as an institution that would allow a printing of the topics Monbiot covers here.
We need more voices like Monbiot, especially in the field of Journalism. I would highly recommend this to people situated in the UK, but also to anyone interested in current affairs of the West. The articles here only travel up to 2014/2015, but remain highly relevant still.

A particularly interesting article written here features the author placing his earnings and outside support for public view on his website. Definitely check it out, it's a call for journalists and individuals who should be working for the public good to be transparent about who's funding them.
