Neoliberalism – the ideology at the root of all our problems
So you know what you're clicking-on, it's George Monbiot in The Guardian. Not quite long form, but longish medium. Here's the subtitle: 'Financial meltdown, environmental disaster and even the rise of Donald Trump – neoliberalism has played its part in them all. Why has the left failed to come up with an alternative?'
Now, I'll quote his last paragraph:
Quote:

What the history of both Keynesianism and neoliberalism show is that it’s not enough to oppose a broken system. A coherent alternative has to be proposed. For Labour, the Democrats and the wider left, the central task should be to develop an economic Apollo programme, a conscious attempt to design a new system, tailored to the demands of the 21st century.
