Share Power

Hardback

Trade Paperback

How ordinary people can change the way that capitalism works and make money too

'Lively, intelligent and packed with revelations, Share Power explains how even the smallest of investors can make themselves heard. A copy of this book should be on the desk of anyone with a pension.'

Allister Heath, Editor, The Sunday Telegraph

In this scintillating book, award-winning financial commentator Merryn Somerset Webb reveals a much-overlooked fact; every share we own comes with a vote. What few people know is that we can use these votes to influence company decisions - on everything from executive pay to corporate strategy.

Delving deep into the world of corporate capitalism - from the privatisation of state-owned companies in the 1980s, to the financial crash of 2008 and the growth of the modern multinational - Share Power shows us how capitalism went wrong and how, with six simple recommendations, every one of us now has the power to make it work for us.
