The Secret History of Neoliberalism (& How It Came to Control Your Life)

Brought to you by Penguin. 
 
We live under an ideology that preys on every aspect of our lives: our education and our jobs; our healthcare and our leisure; our relationships and our mental wellbeing; even the planet we inhabit – the very air we breathe. 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 is time to bring it into the light - and, in doing so, to find an alternative worth fighting for. 
 
Neoliberalism. Do you know what it is? 
 
BASED ON A MAJOR MOTION FILM TO BE RELEASED IN 2024
