A groundbreaking analysis of neoliberalism's turn to authoritarianism and a bold call for fairness, justice, and equality.�We live in an era of crises. How should we address them? Many turn to experts, particularly economists or technologists. Others look to strong, authoritarian leaders, as seen in China or Russia. Some advocate a return to the nation-state, rejecting globalization and targeting immigrants. But what about democracy? Are we prepared to abandon it? This book argues that since the 1970s, neoliberalism has increasingly favored authoritarian solutions. It's time to break this cycle and strive for a more just, fair, green, and equitable planet.
