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 institutionalised
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, it 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.
