I went looking up "neoliberalism" on Facebook to revisit what my friends had shared about it. Donald is a clear thinker and writer, and his perspective resonates with mine: neoliberalism is "capitalism with the shackles taken off"

this looks like reasonably clear writing so let's give it a read twitter.com/123456789blaaa

- too insular, not adopted by those it describes
- too many possible interpretations (this is bloat-death for most word)
I agree

this is such a poetic description of how capitalism works, and again, the sentence makes more intuitive sense if you replace the word "neoliberals" with "capitalists"

If you replace all instances of "neoliberalism" w/"capitalism", how do you distinguish e.g. the Norwegian economy from that of the US?
(Discounting Norway's short flirts w/deregulation now and in the 90s)

I don't quite understand the question. Norway is Norway, the US is the US. If Norway still has some measure of national sovereignty, it maybe means that the capitalists haven't gotten around to it yet. You could maybe describe Norway as relatively protectionist, isolationist, etc

Norway is ultracapitalist, owns the largest sovereign wealth fund in existence, 1.3% of world stocks, is antifragile wrt recessions.
The US is one of the few richer countries pr. capita, but does not have:
- clean air
- universal health care
- job security
- good infrastructure
