I’m still basically an unrepentant neoliberal, warts and all. The last few years have not changed my mind about the basics. I just have a new respect for the strength of our ideological adversaries. We could do with fewer economists and more storytellers/sociologists though.

Visakan Veerasamy @visakanvVV’s definition: A neoliberal is a capitalist who, like, is *really* capitalist. Like, he’s serious, you guys. He’s not nice. He doesn’t play fair. He doesn’t play by the rules. He wants to put a price on *everything*. And he doesn’t care about ideals like “le free market”.
