Neoliberalism in the US


A blog with a focus on neoliberalism as it occurs in the U.S. Neoliberalism generally refers to the removal of government from what is considered non-"core" governmental duties. This refers healthcare, job protection, etc. Extreme cases of the outcomes of neoliberal policies can be seen in States like Brazil (see Vita: Life in a Zone of Social Abandonment - Joao Biehl). In essence it is a call for market control of virtually every aspect of non-governmental life with the credo that the invisible hand of the market can be expected to fix any ills in a society.
