The funny thing is that the free-market is a respected value, until the players become powerful enough, then they actually don't like the market being completely 'free', they actually don't want competition, they seek to destroy competitors.

I like this comment. That definition has clarified some things for me. Anyway, please youtube search bar Phillip Mirowski to get a very informed clarification of what Neoliberalism is that avoids the confusions between it and general classical economic liberalism which is often made elsewhere. Media in terms of markets is good. So is the modern commercialisation of science and how neoliberalism survived the financial meltdown. In fact, I recommend starting with the latter for introduction's sake. Be prepared for 30 mins plus though.

Stacey, I think you did a very good job with this. It is NOT very easy to listen to because it is extremely thought provoking. Questons of WHAT IS and WHO IS abound. The terms Neoliberalism, and likewise Neoconservativism are useful terms because they call into question how the current political spectrum (Party system) is presented , or rather manufactured, for the general public. So after watching this, I am once again as confused as fuck, and that is a good thing.

The unfortunate thing about neo-liberalism isn't the concept itself; I'd argue that on principle it's a seemingly ideal way to go about nation building. The fact is ANY economic ideology is subject to corruption and greed. On face value every ideology can work provided this notion of the "greater good" is upheld. We saw how corruption corroded Communist Russia; America survives today because it's done a bang up job convincing the public that its concepts are fail proof - and any failure that's befallen us is the direct result of interventionist policies instead of the other way around. We are essentially the frog that boiled slowly in hot water whereas the USSR was the frog that was dropped in already boiling water, seeing how they had massive issues they were ill-equipped to deal with before Communism took hold. BUT the real issue is and always will be whether or not the leaders of nations actually hold their people's best interests in mind.

People forget that during the Great Depression of the 30s Communism was a growing wave in the fight against corporate greed. The Post-WWII economic boom, The Cold War, and the McCarthy witch hunt were effective tools in keeping the American public from realizing what could happen should the top-10% of the nation's wealthiest Americans weren't footing 90% of the tax revenue.

Economic systems cannot different in different countries, it's all been interconnected for a long time; globalization), especially not within the last century. Actually that tax revenue is really the bottom 90% share too (their labor produced value - capitalists and ruling class stole that value produced by workers in return for wages just high enough to keep alive and productive). Thieves.

The thing that confuses so many people about the term, is what this video states loud and clear---That Neoliberalism is supported by BOTH Dems and GOPers, and some of BOTH traditional Liberals and Conservatives. Basically, Neoliberalism is the self-supporting philosophy of the Rich---"Economic Royalty" who wish to dominate society. But Neoliberalism is BAD for almost everybody else. To recognize Neoliberalism at work, just know its 4 or 5 basic tenets (as shown in this video), and look for those things in society, instead of looking for personalities, party affiliation, or other labels.

The term "neoliberalism" is an attempt to link classical liberalism with crony corporatism. The growth in state power leads to regulatory capture. "I do not believe it's proper to put the situation in the terms that it's industrialists versus government. On the contrary, one of the reasons why I am in favor of less government is because when you have more government, industrialists take it over, and the two together form a coalition against the ordinary worker and the ordinary consumer. I think business is a wonderful institution, provided it has to face competition in the marketplace and can't get away with something except by producing a better product at a lower cost, and that's why I don't want government to step in and help the business community." --Milton Friedman
@nooz5028
@nooz5028 7 жыл бұрын
the lower cost product is only because the price of labor was reduced (i.e. exploited periphery workers). What products are priced at the real cost and which corporations actually internalize their costs? Private firm cost versus social cost (ECON 101) as you recall. Nope, those costs (infrastructure, environmental, social) are going to come back at you somehow. Global world economy and system now. So whatever happens to oppressed and exploited, in every country, will eventually come right back around in some form or another.

Eric Cartman tax cuts? Look at Walmart as an example. Hasn’t had to pay taxes, works their employees for minimum wage and an hour under full time so they don’t have to pay for benefits. Then employees struggle and apply for food stamps to help put food on the table. Employee then spends food stamp money at Walmart so they get even more money. So money “only going to start ups “ is NOT true. You need to look behind the idea money can only be handing over cash, most money is in different forms.

"Many of the tenets of liberalism were enacted in the name of equality, meaning that free-market policies were supposed to allow people an equal chance onto the marketplace. Under neoliberalism, however, the free market loses its ties to democratic ideals." No, the "free market" was never about "democratic ideals." The only market the majority of us have access to as *sellers* is the labor market, and that's still plenty "democratic" since most of us can sell our labor for wages. The minority that sells products instead gets smaller every day and requires government subsidies now just to survive. And that is the reason for neoliberalism: without it, capitalism would collapse. A good presentation over all, I thought.

Most of the examples you cite are form well after the late 1970's.

I would submit it was the reverse, the economic outcomes created neoliberalism as a justification for the economic outcomes that economic *policy* promoted by right-wing interests produced.

The definition in this video is way to ideological, and just tackles the problems of the system, not the system itself; It doesn't comprehend the actual political, social, and economical changes that the world (from early to mid 1800's) have had.

@00:38 “whilst Neoliberalism started to reach its current heights in the late 1970s it has its roots in classical liberalism”. I seem to remember this move being pushed hard by conservatives like Thatcher and Raegan, so why isn’t it called neo-conservativism? Also which left wing government has ever championed neoliberalism? Indeed one of the things that frustrates me most about the current Left is that they buy into this false nomenclature which not only lets Conservatives off the hook for what they did in the late 1970s but feeds into the current general anti-liberal narrative which can only benefit neo-nationalism and fascism! Little wonder we have Trump in The White House and right wing parties like the AFD burgeoning in Europe!

Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith has been in the public domain for some time and can be downloaded from Project Gutenberg and searched. The printed book can cost you $15 and take a lot of effort to search. Has Smith's "Invisible Hand" been used as a propaganda tool for decades since most people would never read WoN? Smith used the word 'invisible' six times but only once as "invisible hand". It is really curious that we hear about the 'invisible hand' so much. Smith used the word 'education' EIGHTY(80) TIMES. We are not told about that. Search for "and account" and you will find multiple instances of "read, write, and account", not "read, write and arithmetic". Double entry accounting was more than 300 years old when Smith wrote Wealth of Nations, but 50% of Brits were illiterate and public schools did not exist in 1776. The United States could have made accounting/finance mandatory in the schools since Sputnik. Wouldn't that have helped everyone best serve their own self interest? But we do not hear the people who propagandize us about the "invisible hand" advocating mandatory accounting because that might make their invisible rip-offs more difficult. Adam Smith never used the word 'depreciation' in WoN. He mentioned paper money being depreciated one time. Marx wrote about 'depreciation' 35 times in Das Kapital, sometimes regarding the depreciation of machines and sometimes of money. Marx even mentioned Adam Smith 130 times though not much about education. Consumers did not buy automobiles, air conditioners, televisions and microwave ovens before 1885. Marx died in 1883. But it's OK! Our brilliant economists do not talk about the depreciation of under engineered consumer trash today either. Every time you buy a replacement the purchase is added to GDP. What about NDP? Oh sorry, when do you ever hear an economist explain NDP? That's OK too, they only depreciate the Capital Goods and ignore the depreciation of consumer junk anyway. Wealth of Nations has probably been in the public domain for a very long time but cheap computing did not make it available in Project Gutenberg until 3/17/2001. Milton Friedman died in 2006. Was Friedman giving us the straight dope on economics or treating us like a bunch of dopes for decades?

To the viewers who consider a negative viewpoint of neoliberalism as "bias," would you call a negative viewpoint on genocide a "bias?" No. Bad things are bad. Neoliberalism is bad. Thus, there is no bias in describing it as such, whether implicitly or explicitly.

Liberals of the past were in favour of free trade but not in austerity, in a strong defense policy but against attacking other countries. They were more socialist but against red tape and authoritarianism. They were more centrist, believing that if a bird had two wings it could fly. People didn´t seem to like this idea, prefering their chosen bird to have one wing.

That’s why any serious conservative will move to the ‘far right’, that’s the only legitimate opposition to liberalism.

Stacey, great video, but I have a question. Do you personally believe that the devotion of most modern political parties to Neoliberal approaches to governance is a misguided, naive and arguably utopian vision of human beings as rational individuals, and markets as inherently democratic and meritocratic wealth allocation mechanisms. Or do you think that Neoliberal politicians, even supposedly left-leaning ones like Bill Clinton and Tony Blair, in fact know full well that the policies serve(in effect) the needs of the powerful and dynamic private forces of concentrated capital which dominate the world today?

+brett kim I used to be convinced of that, but I'm not so sure. 'Positive Money' did a poll of UK parliament MPs, only 1 in 10 knew even the most basic questions about the financial system, such as how most money is created through the credit/deposit mechanism by banks. I think 'Neoliberalism' has had such a profound effect on society, and has redefined the parameters of mainstream debate, in such a way as to make the default political position a very economically conservative one.

+NeptuneNexus personally I think the rhetoric of 'this is the modern way' continues throughout much of the adoption of neoliberalism. Whenever somebody criticises it, hyperbole is introduced in arguments against it (being accused of being a communist for example). Even the supporters of neoliberalism who credit Adam Smith as the father of neoliberalism omit the things he advocated which go directly in the face of neoliberalist doctrine - such as a responsibility to educate your employees and the abolition of slavery.

Comparing neoliberalism to classical liberalism is like comparing marxists to neomarxists. They're abstracts of said ideologies, no classical liberal worth his or her salt would think it was OK or moral for that matter to use tax dollars to bailout banks or allow corporations to take over school systems. We are typically pretty skeptical over big business as we are big government. It's an important point I believe is missed here.

Neomarxism doesnt exist though, thats just a buzzword thrown around by conservative or 'centrist' (always conservative) public figures to gesture and provoke an emotional response towards Marxist-informed (yet often highly critical of Marx) socialist-democratic (just a little left of centre-left) political orientations. Neoliberals and neoliberalism do exist and classical liberals are complicit in their existence and the maintainence of their power.

mystical spirit So, your saying political scientists are wrong? I'll entertain that notion but then how do you explain the phenomenon of someone like Richard Wolff, he's advocating for worker owned means of production and while his books point to a government aimed at accommodating that ends, he's not all for state control of the means of production, but for workers. Personally I don't think it's a bad idea at all. If enough workers can figure that out, great for them. I love the idea of democratizing the work place. I personally as classical liberal as they come. If you want a communal function, I say great just don't force others to join and pay for that and that's cool with me. In America, our framers to our Constitution understood this. The vast of people today do not. But this mix of Marxist thought with the politics of today seems to jive well with this term NeoMarxism. It's considered transformational politics. Because many think capitalism is going. to eventually die off and socialism will take it's place. The idea seems rational in theory, but that's where that ends. Individuals doing their things, and crisis happenstance might change the outcomes. We don't know. I believe that capitalism will evolve, I know it can. I think that's just getting started. How that will look is any body's guess. I think the of collectivism should certainly apply both good and bad.

"Corporatocracy" is more accurate than "neoliberalism" which actually confuses the analysis in many key respects and becomes a controlled opposition. 1. How can you speak of a "free market" at the same time that the private sector is "subsidized"? Subsidy is violation of the free market. We do not have free markets under neoliberalism; rather, corporations and government are coordinating to direct the market. 2. Incidentally, you seem to conflate "private sector" with corporations and "public sector" with people. Small businesses, run by regular people, belong to the private sector. Government, and all of its bureaucratic stuffiness, belong to the public sector. Fortunately, people exist in both sectors and, unfortunately, so do corporations. 3. You speak of "deregulation" as the basis of corporate control. This is the worst misconception because it sets up "regulation" as the answer when, in practice, it _helps_ corporations, given their close ties to government, as already hinted at by the point on subsidy. It is a question of the kind of regulation: to keep private interest out of public institutions is good (not the regulation we get) whereas to inundate business procedure with legislation (and this is the regulation we get) is bad because corporations, who are big enough to run legal departments, are able to meet the legislation whereas smaller businesses are unable to do so and are thus crowded out of the market. Whether we call the problem corporatocracy or amend the way in which we think about neoliberalism, the answer to the problem at hand is found, most of all, in exposing corruption and decentralizing control.
