In The Invisible Doctrine, George Monbiot and Peter Hutchison offer an eye-opening account of how neoliberalism was deliberately conceived as a way of establishing, and changing, the nature of power--and the ways in which the ideology has caused or contributed to the great majority of predicaments that now challenge us, from the 2008 financial crisis to ecological and environmental disasters that threaten our very existence. In succinct and compelling prose, Monbiot and Hutchison trace the parallel and intertwined history of neoliberalism and capitalism, the rise of Ludwig Von Mises, Friedrich Hayek, and free-market economics in the late twentieth century, neoliberalism's growing influence in government and monetary policy, and the international dissemination of the doctrine across the entire political spectrum. What ensues is an astounding expoš about how the crises that neoliberalism causes are in fact used as an excuse and an opportunity to extend neoliberalism even further and increase oligarch power. Yet every system has a tipping point, and neoliberalism's is appearing as global uprisings and massive environmental collapse. The solution, Monbiot and Hutchison emphasize, is bringing people together through mutual aid--only then do we have any hope of surviving the catastrophes that capitalism and neoliberalism inflict. Weaving together modern history and economics, The Invisible Doctrine is a brilliant survey of the ideologies that pervade our lives and is a call to develop a politics of belonging, based on participatory and deliberative democracy--one that belongs to us, for us.
