Book: Miljardairs onder de guillotine. Op zoek naar alternatieven voor het kapitalisme (11 oktober 2022)
Sjors Roeters once thought that capitalism would save the world. From the age of eleven he traded furiously on the stock exchange and he believed fervently in the superiority of the system. Now he sees that the structures and incentives of capitalism lead to inequality and destruction. While the earth is on fire, the rich get richer. History shows that extreme inequality almost always leads to violence in the end. Can the tide still be turned?
