Thanks for posting that Tom. Epstein says this: the European socialist parties need to stop acting like neoliberal parties.

Epstein could also have added the same about the Democratic Party in the US, whose neoliberal tendencies seem to be dominating its Keynesian ones in this administration and often in Congress, too.

The to austerity by supposedly elft-leaning governments affects the US and many countries in the EZ, and as well as the coalition government of the UK.
