‘The Secret History of Neoliberalism (& How It Came To Control Your Life)’ – from the front cover.
‘We live under an ideology that preys on every aspect of our lives… [healthcare, leisure, our relationships, mental wellbeing, our planet, etc…]. So pervasive has it become that, for most people, it has no name. It seems unavoidable, like a natural law.
‘But trace it back to its roots, and we discover that it is neither inevitable nor immutable. It was conceived, propagated and then concealed by the powerful few. It connects all of the biggest problems we face today: global heating, democratic backsliding, rising inequality, racism, gender violence, the mental health crisis and more. Our task is to bring it into the light – and to build a new system that is worth fighting for’.
From the blurb (brilliant book!).
