Pandemic Power
The Covid Response and the Erosion of Democracy - A Liberal Critique
Pandemic Power is a thought-provoking exploration of how the response to the Covid pandemic has undermined our understanding of science, freedom, and democracy. It delivers a searing critique of policies and narratives that have, in fact, fueled the rise of the extreme right in many countries.
