The article which follows is taken from the new edition of Revolutionary Perspectives (#14) which is just out.

The figures set out in the latest UN report on UK pauperisation, shocking enough in their own right, form the latest link in a chain of extremes which is the reality of global inequality, a tendency which has rocketed since the 2008 financial crash.
Legal Aid Cuts: One Law for the Rich and an Increasingly Worse One for Everyone Else
