How Did We Get Into This Mess?: Politics, Equality, Nature by George Monbiot

4.0

In a way, I hate reading books like these. They remind me that the world is owned and operated by self-serving scum that don't care one iota about the needs, wants or aspirations of the little guy. And I also hope that immortality doesn't happen any time soon, as the scum Monbiot names and describes would be the first to sign up for it. Apart from my feelings, this is a collection of articles the author has written for newspapers, mostly on the predations and vile deeds of the self-serving scum mentioned earlier. It's fascination and revelatory, but very sobering at the same time.
