In his latest book, George Monbiot takes down the dominant ideology of our time: neoliberalism. In our forthcoming series of 'Evenings with George Monbiot', we'll dissect what's wrong with neoliberalism - and what hopeful politics could look like. Find out more at: makehopepossible.org/tickets
The main text reads: "WHEN NEOLIBERALISM PREVAILS, ONLY THE RICH PROSPER. WHEN DEMOCRACY PREVAILS, THE PROSPERITY OF THE POOR, AND OF SOCIETY AS A WHOLE, IS ENHANCED." Below the quote, it attributes the words to "George Monbiot in his book The Invisible Doctrine: The Secret History of Neoliberalism." At the bottom is the "make hope possible" logo,.

Thanks to everyone who attended our conversation with Caroline Lucas. At Make Hope Possible, we are doing politics differently. We believe that the despair of today's politics is not inevitable and that with radical politics, hope can return to our society.

In November 2023, we gathered more than 700 people together at the Assembly Rooms in Edinburgh to debate and discuss the UK's democratic crisis. Inspired by the late Tom Nairn, we brought together politicians, poets, academics, commentators and citizens to ask: What comes next? #MakeHopePossible
