A Masterclass On The Mess We're In w/. George Monbiot

An incredible explanation of 'neoliberalism' and what it really means.

Check out his new book with Peter Hutchison: The Invisible Doctrine: The Secret History of Neoliberalism (& How It Came to Control Your Life).

The more I listen to George Monbiot, the more I see clarity about society and the world at large!

Thank you Owen and George. Independent journalists with journalistic integrity are the heroes of our time.

Please sign petitions and speak out for Julian Assange. It's now desperate . Reporting war crimes is not a crime. Thank you. Free assange.

"A society of altruists governed by psychopaths." Brilliant. Thanks, George.

After travelling the World. I can testify that poor People can share. Rich people never have enough.They just want more. There is enough to Feed but not enough for Greed

I admire the work of George and his writing alerted me to Neoliberalism some years ago. I went on to write a free ebook titled The Real Miracle of Neoliberalism. The miracle being getting the poor to vote for the rich to have more. The necessary lies were facilitated by Thatcher's crude conditioning: "There is no such thing as society". I'm looking forward to reading the new book; George researches thoroughly and writes clearly and incisively. George also mentions building consensus. The work of Gary Stevenson (a former financial trader) on inequality eventually leading to an economic crash is a powerful example. There is hope if we keep working towards the tipping point.

14:58 exactly "You are constantly urged to internalize this notion of blame, and structural failure, systemic failure these things are simply denied, airbrushed out of the picture".

Owen you’re on fire these days, Keeping Israel’s feet to the fire, here and in the Guardian today and now this…and always really well informed, really articulate and across the details…

[sprinkz]

Israel will never let the world forget about one day of retaliation by the real victims, while never letting you remember the 75 years of brutality against Palestinians by the oppressors

Neo liberalism in NZ has resulted in Kiwi's paying export prices for fish, beef and lamb, which exist in abundance. Accordingly, while the country can earn much money, most people eat fish fingers from Asia, and sausages and mince meat or fast food. We even import beef and pork from Europe and North America. Something about emissions mitigation policies.

Thank you, Owen and George for this interview.❤
George, your approach to making the subject of Neoliberalism more easy to understand is really effective for us, the audience. 😊

[karenlp]

This has given me hope for the future. I’m nearly 50, and I desperately want our society to reach the tipping point in public opinion while I’m still around to see it.

[PaulAmbrose-bozq]

Just when I'm bummed out and exhausted from fighting the system, Owen gives me hope. Preach to the choir and expand the circle ! Brilliant.

[evangel]

[jonathanpaulmartin]

The discussion of preaching to the choir felt life changing for me

[peacelove]
