We live under an invisible ideology. It tells us that we are not citizens but consumers. That intervening in the free market compromises our freedom. That we are all millionaires-in-waiting — and if we are struggling to make ends meet, then we only have ourselves to blame.

This is capitalism on steroids. But few of us can even identify the doctrine we live under. It’s called ​“neoliberalism”, and it’s been the dominant economic ideology for the past four decades.

So what does this ideology have to tell us about the world? How is neoliberalism shaping our democracy? And what has almost half a century of neoliberalism done to our lives?
