1984 was when Hart was being described as neoliberal, though he shied away from the label https://www.nytimes.com/1984/05/15/us/as-neoliberals-search-for-closest-fit-hart-is-often-mentioned.html … Not much "neoliberal" chatter in 1988

New York Times, 1988 + 1989 There was also Jesse Jackson's entire 1988 campaign which was a major critique of corporate centrists -- weak on both civil rights and economic justice.pic.twitter.com/uI9q8nRKHv

That neolib Dukakis ran on universal health insurance and cutting military spending
-
Wha? Dukakis ran on the success of the “Massachusetts Miracle,” a proudly and explicitly neoliberal project.

Oh please. The "Miracle" was aggressive government to attract high-tech companies to the state and replace lost manufacturing. I also learned from CTH the New Deal and Great Society were neoliberal too, because any government that leaves capitalism in place is neoliberal.

If you’re claiming that what you just described — government subsidies for high-tech business — is not a central part of neoliberalism then I don’t know what to tell you. Neoliberalism is both a slur and a real thing. I’m talking about the thing.

This is the Chapo definition of neoliberalism. It would not cover the Massachusetts Miracle.pic.twitter.com/qTDxiwX6nd
