A high-school sex scandal jolts a group of teenage girls into a new awareness of their own potency and power. The sudden publicity seems to turn every act into a performance and every platform into a stage. But when the local drama school decides to turn the scandal into a show, the real world and the world of the theatre are forced to meet. In the midst of the current financial crisis, John Gray revisits his polemic against the forces of global capitalism and deregulation. In a substantial new chapter he considers how the economic landscape has shifted in the last decade and asks the question: where do we go from here? Gray's powerful and prescient polemic against extreme free-market capitalism, in a new edition, with a new section on the events of the last five years.
