Guardian Bookshop Notes:

A potentially explosive indictment of the way in which the British government has ceded power to international bodies controlled by global corporations. Well known as an environmental campaigner and media commentator, Monbiot highlights the threat of big business and outlines ways in which their influence can be limited. Publication will be accompanied by a major newspaper serialisation.

Publisher's description:

Monbiot documents the end of representative government in Britain. The state is no longer the initiator of policy but an increasingly helpless bystander. As institutional corruption strikes at the heart of public life, in a contest between the desires of big business and the needs of the electorate, the electorate loses out every time.
