    1. For someone was born, as I was, in the late 1960s, the recent discrediting of neoliberalism (at least on the rhetorical level) is bewildering even if welcome. Neo-liberalism has been the horizon of our life even if (or especially if) we opposed it.https://twitter.com/PeteButtigieg/status/1176262794586533894 …

    I’d say neoliberalism is the political-economic consensus that has governed the last forty years of policy in the US and UK. Its failure helped to produce the Trump moment. Now we have to replace it with something better.

        1. Like the Munchkins in The Wizard of Oz, I'm not sure what to make of the reported death of neo-liberalism. Is the wicked witch of the east really gone? Where is the body?

        2. Neo-liberalism, especially after the Reagan/Thatcher revolution & the collapse of the Warsaw bloc, was triumphant in way that no ideology or religion ever had been in human history. If it didn't have near-universal acceptance, it did define and limit all its opponents.

        3. So I can't help but be skeptical. So far, the victory has been more rhetorical than real in policy terms. After all, Trump broke with a lot of neo-liberal orthodoxy in 2016 but has mainly governed as a conventional Republican.

        4. Still, rhetorical victories often precede policy ones. Something has changed so that even centrist Dems now feel the need to disavow neoliberalism. (And market fundamentalism is under attack on the right as well). Something is happening.

        In many parts of US neoliberalism was never ever accepted or embraced--but it sure was experienced

        I'm 66 and outside of academic circles I've never heard anyone discuss Neo-liberalism.

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        some of the surprise, i think, has to do with the fact that both left and center have painted buttigieg as the quintessential neolib. he isn't, really--not that he's particularly left wing exactly but he's pretty heterodox in some interesting ways

        like, other than bernie (and maybe yang, who knows what he's going to say next) I'd paint him as most likely in the field to say something like this
