"Written in an accessible style, the book weaves personal narrative about the author's 'gypsy scholar' life with social theorizing. It produces an interesting account of shifting social bonds and tensions between private and public experiences and events. The book draws on a wide range of resources, including sociological research, political and economic events and theories, and popular cultural materials, including film, television and novels."Sociology; Lisa Smyth, Queens University Belfast "Sex Money and Power is a wonderfully written reflection on the meaning of our individual lives and their relation to a wider social context. In an unconvential but poignant way, it uses autobiography, social theory and historical narrative to confront the great gods of our time, and the processes that bind us to them. A humorous, quirky subtle, insightful and provocative look at questions that should be taxing us all, this work connects the personal and the social in a flowing and compelling analysis."
