Burnt by Democracy traces the political ascendance of neoliberalism and its effects on youth. The book explores democracy and citizenship as described in interviews with over forty young people–ages 16 to 30–who have either experienced homelessness or identify as an activist, living in five liberal democracies: Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the United States, and the United Kingdom.

The purpose of the book is to shed light on the pervasive and systemic issue of poverty that plagues societies around the world. Its primary aim is to foster a deep understanding and consciousness among listeners regarding the multifaceted nature of poverty, its far-reaching consequences, and the urgent need for action. By delving into the intricate nuances of poverty, the book endeavors to ignite a spark of empathy and compassion within individuals, compelling them to view poverty not as an abstract concept, but as a tangible reality that demands attention and intervention.
