Daily Telegraph: "A New Kind of Bleak by Owen Hatherley: review"

Link to web site

"You’ve got to feel sorry for Owen Hatherley. Being a Marxist in the 21st century must be exhausting. Lined up against you: the world. Tories and Lib Dems, Blairites and Brownites, the flag-waving working-classes, the comfy middle-classes: you hate them all.

Verso Books
"... The story that this book attempts to tell is important. But it isn’t about evil developers versus heroic town planners, or about a rosy semisocialist past versus a bleak neoliberal future. It’s a story about how our values have changed, how our economy has changed and how we have tried to respond to this. A complicated story that deserves more than this childish rant."
