US, EU, even China and India. Regardless where you are, the economy sucks, housing is not affordable, prices are high, jobs are stagnant and class mobility is nonexistent (except maybe in China).

    yeah more and more i believe neoliberalism was never developed as an actual ideology. it was just a way to paper over total seizure of all public wealth by the bourgeois and give them an “intellectual” justification

    i honestly don’t think anyone but normie rubes believe in it wholeheartedly.

    first you had ayn rand and her ideologies basically felicitate the bourgeois but it was just too much and too extreme.

    so a “tamer” version was developed and tied to post-fascism instead of right-libertarianism, and laundered through the corpse of dying Keynesian economic liberalism.
