Make Hope Possible, the new progressive collaboration supported and promoted by Democratic Left Scotland, have made tickets available for their next series of events – ‘An Evening with George Monbiot’, which runs in four locations this April and May.
The organising team suggest that ‘George Monbiot is surely Britain’s best journalist’, stating that ‘in a lifetime of investigations, he has survived by eating rats in West Papua’s rainforest, been declared legally dead in Kenya, and written 13 books, alongside his popular Guardian column.
Monbiot’s most recent book (with Peter Hutchinson) is The Invisible Doctrine: The Secret History of Neoliberalism, which exposes how examines the current economic-financial ‘arrangements’ affect public services, healthcare, mental health, and the environment, and exposes the connections between neoliberalism and current crises, including climate change, inequality, and the rise of authoritarianism.

Monbiot’s hopeful argument is that neoliberalism is ‘neither inevitable nor immutable. It was conceived, propagated, and then concealed by the powerful few. Our task is to bring it into the light—and to build a new system that is worth fighting for’.
