Steal As Much As You Can: Bristol Launch w/ Nathalie Olah
FeaturedSPACE at PRSC 17-25 Jamaica St, Bristol, United KingdomTory austerity has created suffering for millions, as well a generation beset with financial insecurity and crisis.

Steal as Much as You Can is the story of how this happened, exploring the rise of affluence in mainstream storytelling, and the corrosive effects of neoliberal and postmodern culture.
