About this listen

A toxic ideology rules the world of extreme competition and individualism. It misrepresents human nature, destroying hope and common purpose. Only a positive vision can replace it, a new story that reengages people in politics and lights a path to a better world.

George Monbiot shows how new findings in psychology, neuroscience and evolutionary biology cast human nature in a radically different light: as the supreme altruists and cooperators. He shows how we can build on these findings to create a new politics: a 'politics of belonging'.

Both democracy and economic life can be radically reorganized from the bottom up, enabling us to take back control and overthrow the forces that have thwarted our ambitions for a better society.

Urgent and passionate, Out of the Wreckage provides the hope and clarity required to change the world.

Very thoughtful analysis of the spectacular and catastrophic failures of neoliberalism. He starts out with the emphatic acknowledgement that human nature is actually compassionate, interdependent and communal. And from this starting point he points out all the different ways in which today’s neoliberal mantra has seeped into everyday life and thought and has brought about a politics of alienation. He then finishes off by describing a range of practical and necessary approaches to reverse this and instead bring about a politics of belonging.

Excellent listen. Highly recommend it.

the perfect explanation to a world I couldn't define. All that are interested in political influences on today's societies and questions of merit of wealth, there are answers in this book. Caring for our fellow human is not weird, it's our natural survival mode.

must read

good narration. inspiring and informative in parts. but horribly skewed in others. there's a good book in there somewhere

very funny in retrospect
