*A Guardian Book of the Day* The defeat of socialist firebrand Jeremy Corbyn as Labour Leader in 2019 confirmed Tony Benn's famous retort 'the Labour party has never been a socialist party, although there have always been socialists in it.' For over a hundred years, the British Labour Party has been a bastion for working class organisation and struggle. However, has it ever truly been on the side of the workers? Where do its interests really lie? And can we rely on it to provide a barrier against right-wing forces?

It is an essential resource for employers, managers, trade unionists, people with ASCs and their workmates and supporters.

Big challenges lie ahead for our society: increased automation of work, and the threat of catastrophic climate change. But so, too, are the huge possibilities presented by new technology and better ways of organising our economy in the wake of neoliberalism's failure. With the election of Jeremy Corbyn as Labour leader, and the extraordinary turnaround in Labour's fortunes in the 2017 election, the possibility has opened up to build an economy in Britain that is radically fairer, radically more democratic, and radically more sustainable. But we need ideas and strategies on how to get there. Economics for the Many, edited and introduced by Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer, John McDonnell, features contributions from the participants in McDonnell's New Economics conferences, including Faiza Shaheen, Barry Gardiner, Prem Sikka, Ann Pettifor, Paul Mason, Rebecca Long-Bailey and covers topics from housing, public ownership and fairer international trading systems to industrial policy for the 21st century and how to tackle tax avoidance and regional imbalances. Together, the essays in this volume lay out the vision for a new economics; one that works for the many, not the few.

The BOOK is a fictional account of a newly ordained Southern conservative preacher who gets his first job in a Northern progressive church. The interaction of core beliefs provide a dramatic context for contrasting and sometimes mutually exclusive views of what God meant when He said this or that in the original Book.

He is on his way north on Christmas Eve when a blizzard and an accident strands him in the woods. He makes his way to a mysterious cottage where he is taken in by an equally mysterious old man, Doctor Ball. While waiting for the storm to end, Peter and his host engage in friendly debate over questions such as "How do you know that God exists?" with Peter defending the faith and Doctor Ball acting as Devil's Advocate. In the process, Peter meets Abaddon, The Angel of Death who continues to be his nemesis throughout the book.
