How do people find clarity amidst chaos? Comedian David Boyle, in his daily podcast "I'm Quitting Alcohol," takes a break from his usual sobriety musings to tackle the complex web of neoliberalism. Boyle shares his growing awareness of how this economic system influences everything from globalisation to everyday life. Through a humorous yet earnest lens, he explores the unsettling feeling that many of us share—the sense that something is fundamentally off in the world.
Boyle's dive into literature like David Harvey's "A Brief History of Neoliberalism" has opened his eyes to the larger game at play, one designed to benefit the powerful few at the expense of the masses. Boyle's candid reflections are a mix of personal experiences and broader observations, making for an engaging listen. He challenges listeners to question the status quo and encourages them to educate themselves on the systems shaping our lives.

By sharing his journey of discovery, he invites listeners to consider their own role within this intricate system.
