- More about The Pandemic in Britain: COVID-19, British Exceptionalism and Neoliberalism
The book analyzes the UK government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic, blaming neoliberal ideology, corporate interests, Brexit nationalism, and the British model of capitalism on international trade and labor market precarity. It argues that institutionalized corporate-capitalist control of state and science generates public health risks and that consumer-driven individualism has eroded community life and protections against pandemics.

The book provides a comprehensive political analysis and sociological critique of the UK government's response to the novel coronavirus outbreak, known as COVID-19. It interprets the inadequacies of government policy in combating the pandemic as the culmination of various factors, including neoliberal ideology, the protection of corporate interests, Brexit nationalism, and the unique characteristics of a British model of capitalism that relies on international trade and labor market precarity.
The author argues that the institutionalized control of state and science by corporate capitalism poses new and growing public health risks. Additionally, they contend that the prevalence of consumer-driven individualism has eroded community life and the protections it might offer against pandemics. Consequently, the author suggests that the UK government's catastrophic response to the COVID-19 pandemic was influenced by peculiarly British socioeconomic and political phenomena.
The book will appeal to scholars of sociology, philosophy, and politics with interests in the COVID-19 pandemic, neoliberal ideology, and its manifestation in political life. It offers a detailed examination of the complex factors that contributed to the UK government's response to the pandemic, providing valuable insights into the broader social and political implications of this crisis.
