Neoliberalism has firmly taken hold in Wales. The 'clear red water'
is darkening. The wounds of poverty, inequality, and disengagement,
far from being healed, have worsened. Child poverty has reached
epidemic levels: the worst in the UK. Educational attainment
remains stubbornly low, particularly in deprived communities.
Prison population rates are among the highest in Europe.
Unemployment remains stubbornly high. House prices are rising, with
the private rented sector lining the pockets of an ever-increasing
number of private landlords. Minority groups are consistently
marginalised. All this is not to mention the devastatingly
disproportionate impact of the coronavirus pandemic on working
class communities. The Welsh Way interrogates neoliberalism's grasp
on Welsh life. It challenges the lazy claims about the 'successes'
of devolution, fabricated by Welsh politicians and regurgitated
within a tepid, attenuated public sphere. These wide-ranging essays
examine the manifold ways in which neoliberalism now permeates all
areas of Welsh culture, politics and society. They also look to a
wider world, to the global trends and tendencies that have given
shape to Welsh life today. Together, they encourage us to imagine,
and demand, another Welsh future.
