‘This book is dynamite – shining a spotlight on the evils of neoliberalism, shattering the myth that “there is no alternative”, and laying the foundations for a new politics’ Caroline Lucas

In his passionately argued new book, The Invisible Doctrine: The Secret History of Neoliberalism (& How It Came to Control Your Life), George Monbiot explains how neoliberalism has become so pervasive we see it as an immutable law rather than the ideology at the root of our current crises. The major element allowing the rich to get richer while the poor stay poor. An inspiring speaker, George will discuss how neoliberalism became central to our societies and how we can push for changes that will lead to a happy, healthier and more hopeful population.
