Excellent article Che. Old (1987) Gordon Gekko's "greed is good" sermon was embraced by many and we're seeing the results. Time for some serious rethink, me thinks. Stef

Neoliberalism has a relation to capitalism somewhat parallel to the relation between Stalinism and Marxism. In both cases, a single force (the market in the former, central planning in the latter) are identified as the sole driver of the system and all sense of moderation and balance is thrown out the window. The article, a good one BTW, is strictly about economics. To get more of the parallel between neoliberalism and Stalinism one has to consider the vast amount of bloodshed and suffering inflicted by the hawkish imperialism of the neoliberal approach. Economics kills people. |

Unfortunately the author does not remind the reader that “classical liberalism” died with the world economic crash in the late 1920s and “socialist planning” died with the break-up of the Soviet Union. There isn’t any economic model left. |
