To put it plainly then: the vast majority of people tasked with creating our media simply lack the sensibilities that have always driven artistic innovation.
The 2010s have been a double-edged decade. Socioeconomic factors have led to the widespread and increased disenfranchisement of poorer people from the mainstream media and the institutions shaping it. This has coincided with a growing number of people from low income backgrounds also receiving better educations than ever before, and having the means at their disposal to both name and resent it.
Steal as Much as You Can is the story of how this bright generation came to be, and what effective means are still at their disposal to challenge the establishment and ultimately win. By rejecting the established routines of achieving prosperity, and by stealing what you can from them on the way, this audiobook offers hope to anyone who feels increasingly frustrated by our increasingly unequal society.

Steal? Eh, I dunno. At least leave a note explaining your pseudo-ethical reasoning to the erstwhile owner.
Some fairly baroque assumptions in there, too: exactly when were poorer people enfranchised within the mainstream media, and its shaping institutions?
Also, how “bright” can a generation be when it “resents” education? Isn’t “ignorant” a more fitting adjective there? Do they also resent furniture?
Great book.

Well, with a title like that, I can’t say I feel sorry for the author when it comes to people violating her copy rights by illegally downloading her book.

@caesar963, are you saying that we should “stop the steal”?

A sad bitter little nothing Marxist. Whos mad the Tories are in power and the majority voted for Brexit.
Another 30-ish soon to be forgotten.

With the ballotbox or with the gun, steal.

No morality, it’s moral to these nuts.

Of course, the usual wingnut suspects take the tile literally and proceed to vent.
From a review:
The titular stealing refers to a “stealing [of] the same tools that have been used to ostracise the working class for decades”. Olah maintains that these acts of theft will constitute a genuine threat to the capitalist class and outlines four ways that this is to be done:
1. Ceasing to treat elite institutions (Oxbridge, the legacy media, market leaders in the arts, and so on) with respect and thereby perpetuating the myth of their superiority.
2. Freely, coldly, and guiltlessly taking advantage of ways to exploit the capitalist system in order to make money in a purely transactional manner.
3. Stealing the exclusionary methods of the establishment to use against it. This would include resisting the adoption of corporate jargon and continuing to speak in a native vernacular.
4. The fourth act of theft is archaeological and involves “excavating the history of working-class and marginal communities and doggedly highlighting and problematizing the illegitimate aspects of Britain’s classist and colonial heritage.”
