Listen to my friday, November 1, Alternative Visions radio show presentation and my part 2 analysis of Neoliberalism in the US from Reagan to Trump–based on my just released latest book, ‘The Scourge of Neoliberalism: US Economic Policy from Reagan to Trump‘. (see book icon on this blog to order at discount)
The following Part 2 radio show podcast presentation on the nature and evolution of contemporary Neoliberalism explains why US Neoliberal policies, originating in late 1970s, accompanied and facilitated a major capitalist restructuring in America (the two prior restructurings occurring 1908-13 and 1944-53, also discussed). The show explains the material origins of Neoliberalism in the 1970s, but also explains why new fundamental material changes in the US economy, that have been occurring since 2000, are again creating new contradictions to the Neoliberal policy regime and why these new contradictions will mean the demise of Neoliberalism in the 2020s and its replacement by a new economic policy regime–i.e. either more progressive or more proto-fascist as the policy crisis unfolds. What most writings and left critiques of Neoliberalism miss in their analysis. (Next week: Part 3: Trump’s attempt to restore a more virulent Neoliberal 2.0, and why it will fail.)

SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT
Dr. Rasmus continues the critique of Neoliberalism, explaining how it entered a crisis under Obama and how Trump is attempting to restore it in a new aggressive form. How material forces give rise to capitalist restructurings of which Neoliberalism is just the latest. And how material forces now developing beneath the surface are undermining the Neoliberal policy regime, with growing contradictions, that will give rise to a new restructuring in the 2020s. Why Neoliberalism is not ‘Liberal’ at all but in many ways its opposite. What critics of Neoliberalism miss in their analyses. Neoliberalism as just the latest policy response to capitalist restructuring which has occurred before WW1 and after WW2. Why Neoliberalism will not survive the next crisis.
