Shaxson Nicholas The Finance Curse. How global finance is making us all poorer
We need finance – but when finance grows too big it becomes a curse. The City of London is the single biggest drain on our resources, sucking talent out of every sphere, siphoning wealth and hoovering up government time. Yet to be ‘competitive’, we’re told we must turn a blind eye to money laundering and appease big business with tax cuts. Tracing the curse back through economic history, Nicholas Shaxson uncovers how we got to this point. Moving from offshore tax havens to the bizarre industry of wealth management, he tells the explosive story of how finance established a stranglehold on society – and reveals how we can begin to break free.

Harkaway Nick Tigerman
Sergeant Lester Ferris is a good man in need of a rest. He’s spent a lot of his life being shot at. He has no family, he’s nearly forty, burned out and about to be retired. The island of Mancreu is the perfect place for Lester to serve out his time – and the perfect place for shady business, too, hence the Black Fleet of illicit ships lurking in the bay: listening stations, money laundering operations, drug factories and deniable torture centres. None of which should be a problem, because Lester’s brief is to turn a blind eye. But Lester has made a friend: a brilliant, internet-addled street kid with a comic-book fixation who might, Lester hopes, become an adopted son. As Mancreu’s small society tumbles into violence, the boy needs Lester to be more than just an observer. He needs him to be a hero.

Farrell J. G. The Siege of Krishnapur. Troubles
Two very different Booker-Prizewinning novels about the end of empire by Anglo-Irish writer J. G. Farrell are juxtaposed in this volume. Witty, shocking, exciting and vividly realistic, The Siege of Krishnapur is set in the fictional town of that name where a British garrison withstands a four-month siege by a sepoy army during the Indian Mutiny of 1857. Undergoing terrible privations, the characters find their ideals tested and their smug assumptions of military and moral superiority severely shaken. In the elegiac tragicomedy Troubles, Major Brendan Archer travels to Ireland in the aftermath of World War I in order to meet his fiancee Angela in a remote seaside hotel owned by her father. Though events take an unexpected turn, Archer lingers in Kilnalough, captivated by the Majestic and its inhabitants, and seemingly unaware of the approaching political storm as Ireland dissolves into revolt and civil war. Introducer John Sutherland describes Farrell, who died at the early age of 44 in 1979, as 'one of the finest post-colonial novelists'. The proof is in these pages.
