About this listen

 '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.©2022 Merryn Somerset Webb (P)2022 Octopus Publishing Group Investing & Trading Personal Finance Investing Capitalism Money
All stars
Most relevant
Merryn Somerset Webb comes across as informed and modern with her point(s) - that capitalism can work better if we all exercised our rights to vote for company resolutions, amongst other things. A well condensed book that delves into the world of stocks and shares, the history of companies & more and makes a passionate case for the transferral of power from bloated investment firms to us, the shareholder.

An wonderful insight into the stock market

disappointed in the reading of this, the person rushes the ends of sentences and blurs multiple words together. individual seems to be a difficult word for them to pronounce. all of this makes it a very hard book to listen too. maybe reading is better

narrator hard to listen to
