Episode description

Host Rick Wilson and special guests George Monbiot and Peter Hutchison – co-authors of the book "The Invisible Doctrine: The Secret History of Neoliberalism (& How It Came to Control Your Life) "– discuss how the 2008 financial crisis contributed to current conditions, including the erosion of democracy and an increasingly rentier economy, which have opened the door to authoritarian populism and manipulation of information on a mass scale.
