Who Steals The Common From The Goose?

By Ciara Houghton Ruane

A monster stalks a care home. A virus eats at the brains of working people. A priest plans something terrible, and you might cheer him on. Inside this book are stories that explore the absurdism of living under the God of profit, and how it affects each and every one of us from the cradle to the grave. You can expect to find ghosts, murderers, corporate tyrants, mysteries, middle management types, and a love story for good measure. From the disputed resources of South America to the ravaged landscape of 2030s Canada, these stories jump between place and time to reveal the true face of capitalism and how it keeps its grip on us. The law locks up the man or woman Who steals the goose from off the common But leaves the greater villain loose Who steals the common from off the goose. The law demands that we atone When we take things we do not own But leaves the lords and ladies fine Who take things that are yours and mine. - 17th Century English folk poem.
