DescriptionCut Out: Living Without Welfare (Left Book Club) by Jeremy Seabrook  {BinanGotit} Product Details Series: Left Book Club Paperback: 224 pages Publisher: Pluto Press (August 15th 2016) Language: English ISBN-10: 0745336183 ISBN-13: 978-0745336183 Hardcover: $85.00 Paperback: $16.64 Kindle: $14.02 From the ale-house drunks of the Victorian era to the obese benefit scroungers of today, civilization has consistently pinned blame and shame for any societal issues on the poorer classes. In reality, the recent dismantling of crucial welfare state sections by both the U.K.'s Labour and Conservative governments has resulted in the emergence of a new, harshly disadvantaged layer of British society. Growing numbers of unemployed citizens have been deserted, their voices obscured. In Cut Out, journalist Jeremy Seabrook talks to these silenced communities in order to expose the cruel realities of the situation the British government has created for some of its most vulnerable citizens. Seabrook uncovers the many routes to poverty caused by welfare reforms and explores the brutally honest stories of Britain's most devastated lives. Editorial Review Praise for previous books: 'For half a century, in one delicately textured study after another, Seabrook has established himself as perhaps Britain's finest anatomist of class, deindustrialisation, migration and the spiritual consequences of neoliberalism.' - Sukhdev Sandhu, Guardian About the Author Jeremy Seabrook is a journalist and writer who has written for the New Statesman, Guardian, Time, and Independent.
