Whenever someone uses 'neoliberalism' in an article I always mentally downgrade their IQ by 15 points

@GeorgeMonbiot im sure you do but it now has an entirely perjorative tone and therefore is almost a mere term of abuse
@edwest You mean in the same way that the right uses Keynesianism? But they too know just what they're describing.

@GeorgeMonbiot I think Keynes's supporters use that but I may be wrong. -
@edwest The supporters of neoliberalism no longer appear to use a term for the package they support. So neoliberalism is all we're left with -
@GeorgeMonbiot im not sure the people youd describe as neoliberal wd describe the current system as neoliberal (or liberal enough) -
@edwest But what word do they (you?) use to describe the measures they support, that we call neoliberalism? Genuinely interested. -

The right scored a clever propaganda coup cos liberal and neoliberal sound similar, so they can&do blame neoliberal failings on liberals.
