An amazing volume of radical geography includes Dr. Richard Peete's 2017 critique of neoliberalism which decries his critique of the "perverse knowledge" the consulting class uses to address the myriad disasters and crises that neoliberal capitalism causes (i.e. obscure, obtuse knowledge to operate within a cartel type system [i.e. the Disaster Industrial Complex]). Peete concludes there is no solution possible in a Neoliberal system. Peete describes Neoliberalism's conversion of a generation of workers to consumers.
