An introductory guide to the neo-liberal ideology of the global 1%. Perfect for those of us without economics degrees.
As the financial crisis continues to shake the global economy it has begun to expose cracks in the ideological edifice long used to justify neo-liberal policies of privatisation and austerity. This informed and accessible primer drives a wedge into these cracks, allowing the non-experts among the 99% to understand the flaws in the economic philosophy of the 1%. This is an accessible primer that explains the flaws in neo-liberal policies.

Eric Toussaint is president of the Committee for the Abolition of Third World Debt (CADTM), and author of numerous books on economic policy
