À propos de cet audio

 A sharp, fiercely argued takedown of neoliberalism that not only defines this slippery concept but connects it to the climate crisis, poverty, and fascism—and shows us how to fight back.

Neoliberalism is the dominant ideology of our time. It shapes us in countless ways, yet most of us struggle to articulate what it is. Worse, we have been persuaded to accept this extreme creed as a kind of natural law. In Invisible Doctrine, journalist George Monbiot and filmmaker Peter Hutchison shatter this myth. They show how a fringe philosophy in the 1930s—championing competition as the defining feature of humankind—was systematically hijacked by a group of wealthy elites, determined to guard their fortunes and power. Think tanks, corporations, the media, university departments and politicians were all deployed to promote the idea that people are consumers, rather than citizens.

One of the most pernicious effects has been to make our various crises—from climate disasters to economic crashes, from the degradation of public services to rampant child poverty—seem unrelated. In fact, they have all been exacerbated by the “invisible doctrine,” which subordinates democracy to the power of money. Monbiot and Hutchison connect the dots—and trace a direct line from neoliberalism to fascism, which preys on people’s hopelessness and desperation.

Speaking out against the fairy tale of capitalism and populist conspiracy theories, Monbiot and Hutchison lay the groundwork for a new politics, one based on truly participatory democracy and “private sufficiency, public luxury”: an inspiring vision that could help bring the neoliberal era to an end.

This chronicle of neoliberalism and its destructive history is both depressing and encouraging. Monbiot peels back the layers of neoliberalism, allowing us a historical overview from Hayek and Friedman to the present, and a way of seeing how elites disguise their actions through obfuscation and deception. He borrows insights from Naomi Klein (shock doctrine, etc.) to reveal how capitalism’s boom-bust-quit cycles serve the very rich and impoverish the rest of us, and how the imbalance between the rich and the poor reflects an imbalance that is destroying our environment. (Bill Gates’s zooming about in private jets is bringing us closer to catastrophe faster than the vast majority of us, despite his fine words on environmental responsibility; the rich consume far far more than their fair share.)

So what’s to celebrate in this miserable chronicle of the world’s oligarchs crushing our collective wealth and our environment? Well, Monbiot sketches a world where communities work together to create a truly democratic system beyond the fakeries of our present so-called democracies. He gives examples and feels that, as in the past when societies have been seriously threatened, we can pull this off in a reasonable time. He inspires us to come together and resist. It won’t be easy, but we can do it, says Monbiot. Hear, hear. I’m in.
