As I keep saying, neoliberals are <b><i>ANTI- </i></b>free market. <br /><br />Neoliberalism is essentially feudalism, in which a handful of people own everything and everyone. The rest of us are their serfs, tenants, and disposable debt slaves. <br /><br />In the neoliberal utopia, all the markets are owned and controlled. None are free. All free market competition is crushed.Konradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01739209449391854796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-83313851281617100942018-06-21T20:16:49.607-04:002018-06-21T20:16:49.607-04:00They may have been aided in their growth and expan...<i>They may have been aided in their growth and expansion by free market policies ...</i><br /><br />So government privileges for private credit creation, i.e. for the banks, are somehow a free market policy since corporations are among the most so-called credit worthy of what is then, in essence, the public's credit but for private gain?Andrew Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14296407661618321637noreply@blogger.com
