This book is accessible but also focussed and revealing about how neo-liberal policies over the last 40 years have combined to produce a mental health crisis which won't be resolved with every increasing doses of antidepressants. There's no great call to arms here, but it's required reading for anyone vaguely interested in justice and democracy. And it should serve as motivation to any - like me - who hoped that a fairer and more equal (well, less unequal) society would emerge as we move on from the pandemic. Sobering.
