May 7, 2020 · The first observation that needs to be made is that expansion of neoliberalism (with its commercialization of medicine alongside other dimensions) has contributed to the fact that since the 1980s, the world has witnessed no fewer than 4 large epidemics (Ebola, SARS, MERS, and now COVID-19). The application of policies such as the deregulation ...

Sep 28, 2020 · Instead, what we have is a political crisis in neoliberalism, where the rise of authoritarian leaders is a symptom of the decomposition of neoliberal democracy, the outcome of the crisis of ‘restructured’ economies, political systems and institutions of representation and evidence of the hijacking of mass discontent by the far right. Nationalism and racism offer ‘the people’ a way to ...

This is especially so if “hardworking” neoliberals fail to recognize the privileges that ensured their efforts did not go unrewarded. 60 Of course, in reality, the benefits of neoliberalism to an individual are likely contingent on a host of external factors related to their personal circumstance and social position. 61–63 Further research is needed to understand what role neoliberalism ...
Oct 25, 2023 · The critical historian Slobodian (2019), who has written a highly acclaimed book diagnosing and critiquing neoliberalism titled Globalists: The End of Empire and the Birth of Neoliberalism, has claimed that indexes of economic freedom clearly ‘carry the neoliberal banner’ in the way they construe and measure freedom.

The past years had already challenged neoliberalism’s vision for global trade, with US tariffs becoming the center of a much larger discussion on a country’s ability to procure well-paid jobs to its citizens. Neoliberalism has never provided a satisfactory answer to this question, because free market ideology cannot reconcile with anything that imp...
Corporations and the very wealthy know that the debt incurred by basically all governments across the globe, in order to keep their economies afloat, will force a conversation about repayment already in 2021. Their usual recipe of austerity measures has hit a wall and is unlikely to be a welcomed option; even one of its starkest defenders, the IMF,...
Despite the bailouts and the very unorthodox policies of central banks the battle is not over. Over 30 Million people have lost their jobs in the US. They are today the global center of the pandemic, based on the number of infected and the ripple effects that its economic contraction will have worldwide. The recent protests against lockdown measure...
The dichotomy between economy and health was, since the beginning of the crisis, used by ideologues as a rhetorical tool to persuade the public about what was at stake. No serious economist backs such either/or perspective, without extensive caveats around it. Yet this framing of societal issues and of crises in particular is exemplar the way neoli...
While in the past the way to deal with debt repayment after a sizable downturn has been through austerity, this time around Neoliberal elites know that such approach could generate immense backlash.

Centre-left parties on both sides of the ocean readily embraced Neoliberal recipes of privatization and entrepreneurship not only for their own economies, but as medicines that would help the ...
