Description
A State of Fear: How the UK Government Weaponised Fear During the Covid-19 Pandemic Laura Dodsworth explores the ways in which the UK government used fear to shape public policy during the Covid-19 pandemic. This book examines the role of fear in decision-making, the use of behavioural science and nudge theory to influence behaviour, and the impact on individuals and society as a whole. Through interviews with experts and those affected by the pandemic, Dodsworth sheds light on the complex factors that drove the government's response to the crisis. She also calls for a more transparent and effective democracy, one that prioritises the well-being of its citizens. This thought-provoking book offers a nuanced discussion of an extraordinary year in British life and politics, and is a valuable contribution to our understanding of the pandemic's impact on society.
