What do we leave behind when we move to a new place – and what do we carry with us, physically and emotionally, wherever we land? Here are the voices of people who have come to Britain to make a new life: a Czech-Roma lawyer in Reading, an Iranian taxi driver in Shropshire, a Sierra Leonean actor in Northampton, a Romanian police officer in Edinburgh. Colin Grant has travelled the country and listened to their stories – foundational tales of arriving in a new land, along with rarely spoken stories of love and loss. Together, these accounts ask questions about assimilation, identity, belonging and the emotional cost of migration in twenty-first-century Britain.

An illuminating and often hilarious exposé of the dubious world of the people whose job is to tell us that the world of money can be predicted with almost scientific accuracy – when the truth is that it fails again and again. And that from the Greeks onwards, Economics has long been driven by vested interests, reckless predictions and at times a staggering lack of common sense. The Rebel Accountant strips away the complexities and gives us the lowdown on why everything you thought about the world of Economics is not only wrong, but is has been responsible for some of the greatest fails of all time. This is MONEYMANIA.

A fairer, healthier, more caring and sustainable society is entirely within our grasp. This book shows us the way. How do we ensure that everyone has good health and is cared for when in need? How do we provide education that allows every child to flourish? How do we ensure safety, justice and a healthy environment now and for future generations? How can we finally solve the problems of poverty and inequality that drive all the others? Kate Pickett is one of the most renowned thinkers and leaders in social science. Her life’s work has been to identify the underlying causes behind society’s key challenges and how to solve them. In this book, she draws on the deepest insights and the strongest evidence produced by social science over the last three decades to present a roadmap for change.
