Break the Chains is a work of political non-fiction written by Scottish socialist and trade unionist Richie Venton and published in 2015 by the Scottish Socialist Party. In the book, Venton argues the case for an immediate £10 an hour minimum wage, without discrimination; a national maximum wage; a shorter working week; and strategies to "unchain the unions". It has been compared favourably to The Establishment: And How They Get Away With It by Owen Jones.
