Discover the thought-provoking insights of ‘Sugar Daddy Capitalism’ by Peter Fleming, a brand new exploration into the dark side of modern economics. This compelling book, published by John Wiley & Sons in 2018, dives deep into the correlation between exploitative business practices and societal attitudes towards capitalism today. With 184 pages of keen analysis, Fleming critiques the troubling trends of the gig economy, the normalization of precarious employment through zero-hours contracts, and the semi-feudal management tactics that permeate workplaces. He cleverly juxtaposes the sleazy dynamics of high-profile incidents, like those surrounding unethical business figures, with the hollow ideals of neoclassical economics. 'Sugar Daddy Capitalism' not only highlights how the push for a leaner, less bureaucratic economy has led to increased exploitation but also serves as a warning about the moral degradation within our financial institutions. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of today's capitalism and the dark realities behind seemingly benign corporate practices. Ensure you grab your copy and uncover the uncomfortable truths about our economy today. Note: Shipping for this item is free. Please allow up to 6 weeks for delivery.

Description:
What is the connection between the sleaziness of Harvey Weinstein™s Âbusiness meetings™ and the passionless doctrine of neoclassical economics? In this witty and incisive examination of the new economy, Peter Fleming argues that they are closer than you might think. The quest to rid society of bureaucracy, shrink government and burn red tape has certainly made capitalism Âmore human™, but not in the family-friendly way envisaged by free-market gurus. Increasing informality has led to a capitalism fuelled by limitless exploitation and increasingly seedy methods of management, from semi-feudal workplace hazing rituals and predatory middle-managers with an axe to grind to arbitrary zero-hours contracts, Uber and, perhaps worst of all, the compulsory gym session with your boss. Fleming dubs this ÂSugar Daddy Capitalism™ after the controversial dating-app wealthy businessmen use to meet young girls, most of whom are struggling with university fees. What seems like a creepy outlier is actually a prescient metaphor for our whole economy: an anonymous and impersonal cash system that is also intent on getting under your skin, extra close and capable of ruining everything if you say ... Âno™.

Good Value, Nice Fabric, But Could Have Better Finishing.
I'm 5'3 and 125# and the size small was a near perfect fit, although I hope I don't gain any weight. These have an elastic waistband in addition to the drawstring and the elastic is pretty strong, so if you are on the border between sizes, I'd recommend sizing up.
I was a little annoyed with how these arrived - they come in a box, but inside the box the set I got was balled up in and in a plastic bag then shoved into the box. I suspect I may have gotten a set that was a return, because I can't imagine them being packaged that way out of the factory. Since these are primarily linen, the result of this type of packing is that they were so wrinkled I nearly sent them straight back! I tried them on anyway and since they fit me well, I decided to keep them, but I hope that most of the wrinkles come out in the wash, otherwise I'll have to haul out the iron which I haven't had to do in ages.
I don't wear shorts all that often, but since these were a linen blend and every summer seems to be getting hotter, I thought these would be comfortable to wear on those 90+ degree days. Linen is comfortable and breathable and cotton does a good job of wicking away moisture, so it's the perfect blend for the hottest and stickiest days of summer. They aren't too short, which is a plus. I did need to snip a lot of loose strings off of these, so these could have a nicer finish, but for less than $20/pair, I'm not too fussed about it. I think these will wash up well and will look a lot better once ironed, but hopefully, I'll only have to iron them once to get them into the right shape. If they need to be ironed every time they're washed, they'll probably be relegated to the back of my closet where my least favorite clothes go to die, because who has time to iron??!!

Not linen
These aren’t linen, these are microfiber shorts. Fabric feels very cheap.

True To Size
These shorts fit true to size and are so comfortable. They have a drawstring waist, so you can adjust them for the best fit and wide legs. They are 55% linen and 45% cotton so they keep you feeling cool. The classic colors go with nearly any other colors or designs, making them stretch your wardrobe potential and saving you money. They were extremely wrinkled upon arrival, so I used my fabric steamer, and within 5 min they looked perfect. I love these shorts and wear them all the time!
