      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.

          I’ll believe reports of it’s demise when I see any sign of a policy shift. Right now, it’s all empty promises.

          It seems for some an impending climate disaster is actually decent motivation for changing the status quo (or at least nodding to it in rhetoric).

          If a fundamental, hegemonic change takes a quarter century to happen, it's practically instantaneous. I don't think it can really happen quicker than that barring bloody revolution, and even then you're probably measuring the change in decades.

          I think Trump, more than anything else, broke it, even on the left, by showing that the Reagan / Thatcher realignment was about race and cultural supremacy, not about economics, which undermined the entire argument for Democrats moving to the left economically.

          ie. a lot of glib libertarians convinced Democrats to accept their ideas by arguing it would win them Republican votes (and framing Democratic successes post-Reagan as coming from that.) Trump showed that this is a lie - that Republican voters largely don't care about that.

          Anti-liberal liberalism is a scent of fascism. That's what's happening. Trump's speech at the UN was explicitly classic liberal, "those most invested lead" and so on.

          The many abrogated non-populist conservative ideas or pretexts such as state's rights, eg, the auto industry and these latest anti-regulation regulations, it is the fascist possessing the invisible hand. It is where neoliberal economics changes to neofascist economics

          At the same time there is a universal, crude emphatic on race, sex, and other 'political' rights that classic liberals held up as the very limits of democracy. That this deeply liberal obsession is widely identified as 'radical left', shows that there is almost no hope at all.
