Description
Neoliberalism is the dominant ideology of our time, shaping us in countless ways yet often left unarticulated. Journalists George Monbiot and filmmaker Peter Hutchison shatter this myth in Invisible Doctrine, revealing how a fringe philosophy was systematically hijacked by wealthy elites to promote competition as the defining feature of humanity. This book connects the dots between neoliberalism and various crises, including climate disasters, economic crashes, and rampant child poverty, showing how they have all been exacerbated by the subordination of democracy to the power of money. Monbiot and Hutchison also explore the link between neoliberalism and fascism, which preys on people's hopelessness and desperation. By shedding light on the "invisible doctrine," Monbiot and Hutchison provide a clear and incisive analysis of the ideology that underpins our modern world.
