After 40 years of neoliberalism, the verdict is in – the fruits of growth went to the few at the top

The only way forward, the only way to save our planet and our civilisation, is a rebirth of history. We must revitalise the Enlightenment and recommit to honouring its values of freedom, respect for knowledge and democracy.

In rich and poor countries alike, elites promised that neoliberal policies would lead to faster economic growth and that the benefits would trickle down so that everyone, including the poorest, would be better off. To get there, though, workers would have to accept lower wages, and all citizens would have to accept cutbacks in important government programmes.

ovo nije bas sasvim istina. mislim, istina je ako se gleda "Zapad", u najsirem smislu (dakle sa Rusijom i Juznom Amerikom, mada i ovo za J.Ameriku je donekle). Ono sto znamo da je, s druge strane, od Libije do Afganistana doneo jos nesto mnogo gore. Ali je zato u istocnoj Aziji, pa donekle i u Africi situacija malo drugacija. Da li sistem funkcionise...pa ne bi se moglo reci da funkcionise. Ali mora se biti oprezan pri ovakvim sudovima.

A Brazilian judge just ordered former President Lula da Silva released from Sergio Moro's prison.

An extraordinary day in Brazil - for the world, given Lula's stature.

Cringey Monday. John Cobin, the American now under arrest for shooting protesters in Chile, (https://t.co/HWhxDZ7h6n) has a PhD in "Law and Austrian Economics" from the Mercatus Center at GMU. His website is a museum piece of right-libertarianism. https://t.co/I8Ed4T69Nb pic.twitter.com/BOpaTOlZM6
