In conversation with comedian Nish Kumar, legendary environmentalist and Guardian columnist George Monbiot reveals the story of neoliberalism, and tells us what we can each do to change the world for the better.
An iconoclast unafraid to speak truth to power, George Monbiot has been fighting for a better future for our planet for decades. In this episode, he joins comedian and podcaster Nish Kumar to share his insights into the ideology that preys on every aspect of our lives – neoliberalism.
Revealing how the network of neoliberalism ‘kicks down and kisses up’, George shows us how this fringe philosophy was adopted by wealthy elites and came to dominate our society and our economy. But nothing is inevitable. Although we may believe that a better world is an impossible fantasy, George and Nish show us that this could not be further from the truth – and deliver a rallying cry for all of us to fight back.
