Two Hundred Pharaohs, Five Billion Slaves (Paperback, New ed)

This is a revised edition of a cult classic, particularly timely as anti-globalisation movements gather strength. Rooted in a comprehensive analysis of economic life, it calls for nothing less than world revolution. Starting from the assertion that material production provides the conditions for us to build a world better than previously imagined Utopias, Peacock provides a counterblast to capitalism's vision: docile, profit-producing, working-class consumer zombies.
