Jason Pack is joined by George Monbiot Guardian columnist and co-author of ‘The Invisible Doctrine: The Secret History of Neoliberalism'.
In this conversation, Jason Pack and George Montbiot chart the evolution of neoliberalism and how it has shifted core governance functions (like transport, health care, and security) from the public sector to private enterprises, leading to a new form of oligarchy. Plus they look at the failures of centrist politicians to come up with compelling alternatives and they hypothesize about the psychological motivations of the wealthy elite.
