Monbiot on 'The invisible ideology trashing our planet'

04 March 2020

We have recently subscribed to a monthly email digest from the Ecologist magazine.  This month's issue features an interview by Brendan Montague with George Monbiot, about a talk he is delivering around the UK on this topic.

 

Montague writes

"The invisible ideology referred to is neoliberalism. But when I caught up with Monbiot at his home in Oxford this week he had already extended the scope of his speech to include capitalism and consumerism. This is the unholy trinity: capitalism is the father, consumerism the son and neoliberalism is the holy ghost."
