"Challenging Rentier Capitalism: UK Postmasters' Battle"

The Post Office Horizon scandal in the UK has shed light on the lopsided economic model that rewards asset-owners and punishes workers, exposing a form of "rentier capitalism" where success depends on what one controls rather than what one does. The scandal also highlights the perils of outsourcing and the government's tendency to support corporations while picking up the bill when things go wrong. This reveals a system where the powerful are shielded from risks, while workers face isolation, low pay, and insecurity, showcasing the shortcomings of both the state and the market in post-1997 Britain.
