Additional information
While aimed at a mainstream as well as an academic readership, Get Real is an analysis of the manifestations and workings of ideology in contemporary politics and culture. It examines the peculiar toxicity of ideology in contemporary political discourse, arguing that ideologies are still in existence at both ends of the political spectrum, but that they now operate as disguised, disavowed motivations. Get Real describes how the 'death of ideology' thesis conceals the dominance of a particular ideology, neoliberalism. And it explores how neoliberalism employs the language of natural common sense in order to camouflage its partisan status.
