Binding: Paperback
Description: This book offers a political analysis and sociological critique of the UK government's response to the novel coronavirus outbreak interpreting the inadequacies of government policy with regard to Covid - 19 as the results of neoliberal ideology the protection of corporate interests Brexit nationalism and the peculiarities of a British model of capitalism based on international trade and labour market precarity. Arguing that institutionalized corporate - capitalist control of state and science generates new and growing public health risks and that consumer - driven individualism has eroded community life and the protections this might offer against pandemics the author contends that the UK government's catastrophic response to the Covid - 19 pandemic was the result of peculiarly British socioeconomic and political phenomena. The Pandemic in Britain will appeal to scholars of sociology philosophy and politics with interests in the Covid - 19 pandemic as well as neoliberal ideology and its manifestation in political life.
