Product Information
How London was bought and sold by the Super-Rich, and what it means for the rest of us Who owns London? Today, the city is the epicentre of the world's financial markets, an elite cultural hub, and a place to hide one's wealth. In Alpha City , Rowland Atkinson tells the story of eager developers, sovereign wealth, and grasping politicians, all of which paved the way for the plutocratic colonisation of the cityscape. Atkinson moves through the gated communities and the mega-houses of the urban elite, charting how the rich live and their influence on the disturbing rise in evictions and displacements from the city. The book, fully updated, also looks at the capital's prospects in the aftermath of Brexit and the pandemic, showing how the super-rich may capitalise on the crisis, increasing inequality and hardship.

Reviews
"[Atkinson] writes with flair. The long-term result of the pressures he charts is starting to be felt." --Mika Ross-Southall, Times Literary Supplement " Alpha City is the heart-breaking, carefully-told, story of how London--its heart, mind and soul--was stolen from the people by the plutocrats and their minions. When, the book asks, will the greed of the super-rich end up strangling the city, whose body sustains them? Rowland Atkinson has delved deep to uncover the extent of the super-rich's grip on London. A masterpiece." --Danny Dorling, author of Inequality and 1% "Turning large swathes of London over to the Super-Rich was meant to generate a sloshing pool of wealth that would 'trickle down' to the rest of us. In practice, the detailed, informed and devastating trawl through the global capital of the ruling class in Alpha City proves the only thing that has trickled down is contempt." --Owen Hatherley, author of The Ministry of Nostalgia "Opens the lid on a can of dangerous worms. While Britain's policies to tempt the world's mobile hot money and its owners have blessed a small section of the population, Atkinson reveals how this has cursed far larger numbers of people, as the super rich have sucked away wealth, talent, investment, culture, government attention, and opportunities from the majority. A welcome and urgently important corrective to the dominant British narrative that the super-rich benefit London and the wider nation." --Nicholas Shaxson, author of Treasure Islands "A great book that provides vital insights into a strangely under researched group--the wealthiest people on the planet." --Anna Minton, author of Big Capital "In Alpha City , Rowland Atkinson lays bare how London has been geared up as the world's monument to inequality. It exposes the tactics of gilded elites alongside their legions of enablers and hangers on, and the ways in which they have turned an already tough city into a 21st century dystopia, where the ultra-rich glide through pristine, soulless environments while the infrastructure we all need decays around us. This fast-paced guide to the new gilded age is a timely warning of how much damage inequality can do." --Douglas Murphy, author of Nincompoopolis "Essential reading before Covid-19, is even more so now ... vividly describes how the super-rich have distorted the socioeconomic and physical landscape of London" -- Morning Star "The inequalities are glaring. It is a revealing but unsettling read, whatever page you land on." --Angela Cobbinah, Camden New Journal "An urgent reminder of the capital's inequalities." --Ceri Radford, Independent "Timely and relevant ... Alpha City takes us through the ugly world of a mega city captured by wealth. Cities and towns have always struggled with inequality and the social and spatial realities of unequal access to power and resources. In the great global cities, such as London and New York, these inequalities have often been more stark." --Eoin Ó Broin, Irish Times
