    the school of neoliberal ideology only came into inception post WW2, and didn’t catch on until the thatcher and Regan era, and only actually gained much power after the collapse of the USSR, in part because it purported to explain the collapse of the USSR

      Other than Reagan and Thatcher rising to highest office, which political or economic events would you identify as most significant for the transition from the period of embedded liberalism to neoliberalism?

        unironic question, did you even read my last comment? no? let me repeat it:

          The removal of the US Dollar from the gold standard, and the Chilean coup d’état led by Augusto Pinochet, both occurred in the Seventies.

          Do you associate either event with the transition from the period of embedded liberalism to neoliberalism?

            no, because they quite frankly don’t have much to do with the transition from liberalism to Neoliberalism.

            But if you never actually looked into these ideologies and other philosophical frameworks of the time a shitty tankie can convince you they are all inherently tied together, unironically the Pinochet coup support was due to the prevailing idea of realpolitik that Neoliberalism ironically replaced (spheres of influence vs. globalized markets), and the abolishment of the gold standard happened during the Nixon administration and the prevailing economic theory at that time was various forms of NCS.

            honestly, you should REALLY start actually reading into the philosophies themselves and not whatever collection of libertarian/tankie sources you get your information from.

              We can try another.

              The privatization of national industries under Thatcher, and the firing of striking air-traffic controllers under Reagan, both occurred in the Eighties.

              Do you associate either event with the transition from the period of embedded liberalism to neoliberalism?

                unironically, can you not read?

                the school of neoliberal ideology only came into inception post WW2, and didn’t catch on until the thatcher and Regan era, and only actually gained much power after the collapse of the USSR, in part because it purported to explain the collapse of the USSR

                what’s next, you are going to ask about when the ideology was first devised? I get it you have an aversion to reading, but maybe you should try more of it

                  Are you able to name or to describe any important individuals, groups, events, policies, or ideas, related to neoliberalism, in any more detail than simply repeating the same sentence?

                    I’m not your teacher, I have told you often to go read up on this stuff yourself.

                    also, your own inability to read isn’t cause for me to further lecture you
