Reviews
Late Stage Capitalism comes to Jack
Mark Burchard
While the story takes the occasional pot shot at socialism, it reserves the big guns for capitalism, taking aim at all the ways the rich get away with it. excellent narration.
Elaine
My 3rd Bang book in as many days; good fun to listen to while doing other things like cooking etc where you don’t need to concentrate too much
Great Fun
