The Invisible Doctrine: The Secret History of Neoliberalism

Directed by Peter D. Hutchison and Lucas Sabean, this 2025 documentary, featuring environmentalist George Monbiot, uncovers the secret history of neoliberalism—an ideology shaping economics, politics, and society since the 1930s. From Austrian philosophers like Hayek and Mises in exile to wealthy elites' clandestine propagation via think tanks and dark money, it traces its rise in the 1970s–80s under Reagan and Thatcher, emphasizing corporate deregulation, privatization, and competition as human nature. The film indicts neoliberalism for inequality, climate crises, authoritarianism, and atomization, converting citizens to consumers. With visuals, infographics, and analysis, it calls for participatory democracy and alternatives to end this "invisible doctrine."
