Why We’re All F**ked

Description

Why We’re All F**ked is a personal examination of work, money, class, debt and the gap between what people earn and what they actually get to keep.

Starting with childhood assumptions about work and security, Wayward Milne follows the arithmetic through wages, mortgages, business, tax, redundancy, bankruptcy and starting again — asking why doing what you are told does not necessarily leave you safer, richer or more secure.

This is not an economics textbook, a manifesto or a guide to getting rich. It is one life used as a ledger: what came in, what went out, what changed, and what the numbers say about the system around us.

Part memoir, part social observation and part uncomfortable arithmetic, Why We’re All F**ked looks at work, wealth, opportunity and inequality from the ground up.
