What to expect

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

Explosive and beautifully told … these truths can set us free

Danny Dorling

This brave book borders on being a page turner … ‘The Secret History of Neoliberalism’ is really the ultimate crime novel, one in which we all play a part

An urgent unmasking of some of the most powerful and insidious yet overlooked ideas of our era

An excellent, thought provoking narrative on how neoliberalism has shaped our world, and how we might think about systems differently. Accessible, not too dense so easy for non academics/ specialists to understand!

A concise and helpful summary of the u201cinvisible doctrineu201d of neo liberalism, and the resource theft and lies that lead us towards societal hopelessness and cynicism. The book is concluded with some positive suggestions, drawn from history, as to how powerful people-led movements can be created to expose the falsehoods being fed to us by the usurpers of our citizens rights.
