About this product
Product Information
What just happened and how did we get into this mess? Since the 2016 referendum, the UK has been in a crisis of its own making. But there are more reasons for this than Brexit alone. A wave of disruption has hit political parties, the mainstream media, public experts and all kinds of officials. Along the way, there have been dramatic and sometimes shocking events: the burning of Grenfell Tower and the Windrush scandal, the rise and fall of the Brexit Party, Boris Johnson's Conservative purge and his resounding election victory. The state's response to the pandemic was a further sign of how abnormal things had become. As the 'mainstream' of politics and media has come under attack, the basic norms of public life have been thrown into question. Authoritarian and nationalist forces advance as liberalism recedes. This Is Not Normal takes stock of a nation that no longer recognises itself. Davies finds the narrative sense behind apparently chaotic and irrational events, extracting their underlying logic and long-term causes. We are witnessing the combined effects of the 2008 financial crash, the failure of the British neoliberal project, the dying of Empire, and the impact of the changes that technology and communications have had on the public sphere. How the nation revives from the economic and political shocks of the lockdown remains uncertain. This is an essential book for anyone who wants to make sense of the current moment.

Reviews
Praise for The Happiness Industry by William Davies "Deeply researched and pithily argued, Davies's work is a welcome corrective to the glut of semi-scientific happiness books that have become so popular in business and management circles, and which rarely, if ever, acknowledge the larger ideological goals of workplace well-being." - New York Magazine "As Davies implies in this readable, disturbing book, being depressed by the human condition will no longer be socially acceptable, or even an option. The state or big business will soon see to it!" - Independent "Rich, lucid and arresting." - John Gray, Literary Review "A fascinating book." - Philip Mirowski, author of Never Let a Serious Crisis Go to Waste (in praise of The Limits of Neoliberalism ) "An eye-opening, head-spinning, and mind-expanding book." - Ha-Joon Chang, University of Cambridge, author of 23 Things They Don't Tell You about Capitalism "A brilliant, and sometimes eerie, dissection of our times." - Vice "Skillfully written intellectual entertainment--prime fodder for postmodern psychologists and New-Age thinkers alike." - Kirkus
