Why is “millennial socialism” on the rise? Because liberalism is failing — Lea Ypi


Should be "neoliberalism" instead of "liberalism."

Good article on the paradoxes of liberalism.

Except I don't see that MMT advocates like Warren Mosler, a banker, seek to end neo-liberalism but to perpetuate it by:

1) Increasing privileges* for the usury cartel, aka "the banks", in an attempt to make their racket more stable.

2) Government provided wage-slavery for the victims to supplement wage slavery to the private sector.

*e.g. unlimited deposit guarantees
e.g. unlimited loans from the Central Bank at ZERO percent.
