Reviews
"A thoughtful analysis of the forces and attitudes that unleashed lockdowns upon the global poor, with harrowing descriptions of the consequences."-- Sunetra Gupta, Professor of Theoretical Epidemiology, University of Oxford, and co-author of the Great Barrington Declaration "In a grave pandemic, what is the acceptable level of mortality risk relative to the damage to society, economy and poor countries from lockdowns? Toby Green's searching scrutiny and anguished analysis of this dilemma is a much-needed corrective to simplistic slogans."-- Ramesh Thakur, former Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations, and Emeritus Professor, Crawford School of Public Policy, The Australian National University "An admirably measured description of 2020's immeasurable destruction, charting the shocking fallout from governments' virus-suppression policies in the Global North and South. The Covid Consensus should be read by everyone who still believes that lockdowns save lives."-- Sinead Murphy, Lecturer in Philosophy, Newcastle University "Even in the face of viruses and death, some humans are still 'more equal' than others. This book demonstrates it abundantly while challenging conventional wisdom on the pandemic and how to confront it."-- Gilbert Achcar, SOAS University of London "An excellent book at a critical time. Pandemics breed hysteria, to which the only cure is reason. This book is a masterly dose of reason, challenging, questioning and sceptical in the best sense of the word."-- Simon Jenkins, author and columnist "An intellectual treat for critical thinkers who are watching the sunset of reason and feel that all that is essential is invisible to the eyes of many. This book sheds light on reason and makes the invisible visible." - Yossi Nehushtan, Professor of Law and Philosophy, Keele University, "Even in the face of viruses and death, some humans are still 'more equal' than others. This book demonstrates it abundantly while challenging conventional wisdom on the pandemic and how to confront it."-- Gilbert Achcar, SOAS University of London "In a grave pandemic, what is the acceptable level of mortality risk relative to the damage to society, economy and poor countries from lockdowns?

This book sheds light on reason and makes the invisible visible." - Yossi Nehushtan, Professor of Law and Philosophy, Keele University "toby Green brilliantly picks apart the underlying incongruities which allowed Covid-19 to upend democratic, scientific and international norms. From the loss of thousand-year-old traditions to the effective re-colonisation of sub-Saharan Africa, these changes should concern us all."--David Bell, independent consultant, and former medical officer, World Health Organization, "Even in the face of viruses and death, some humans are still 'more equal' than others. This book demonstrates it abundantly while challenging conventional wisdom on the pandemic and how to confront it."-- Gilbert Achcar, SOAS University of London

Synopsis
Why does Western pandemic policy have support across the political spectrum, when its social impacts conflict with ideology on both right and left? During the pandemic, the Left has agreed that 'following the science' with hard lockdowns is the best way to preserve life; only irresponsible right-wing populists oppose them. But social science shows that while the rich have got richer, those suffering most under lockdown are the already disadvantaged: the poor, the young, and--most overlooked of all--the Global South. The UN is predicting tens of millions of deaths from hunger and warning that decades of development are being reversed. Equally, why have conservatives backed lockdowns and other major interventions, creating the big state that they usually abhor? These contradictions within the great consensus of Western pandemic response are part of a broader crisis in Western thought. Toby Green peels back the policy paradoxes to reveal irreconcilable beliefs in our societies. These deep divisions are now bursting into the open, with devastating consequences for the global poor., While numerous books consider covid, this is a unique take in considering the disproportionate effect of lockdown on the poorest in society, Since the onset of the pandemic, progressive opinion has been clear that hard lockdowns are the best way to preserve life, while only irresponsible and destructive conservatives like Trump and Bolsonaro oppose them. But why should liberals favor lockdowns, when all the social science research shows that those who suffer most are the economically disadvantaged, without access to good internet or jobs that can be done remotely; that the young will pay the price of the pandemic in future taxes, job prospects, and erosion of public services, when they are already disadvantaged in comparison in terms of pension prospects, paying university fees, and state benefits; and that Covid's impact on the Global South is catastrophic, with the UN predicting potentially tens of millions of deaths from hunger and declaring that decades of work in health and education is being reversed. Toby Green analyses the contradictions emerging through this response as part of a broader crisis in Western thought, where conservative thought is also riven by contradictions, with lockdown policies creating just the sort of big state that it abhors. These contradictions mirror underlying irreconcilable beliefs in society that are now bursting into the open, with devastating consequences for the global poor.
