SUMMARY of Articles & Interviews:
My January 2020 book, ‘The Scourge of Neoliberalism: US Economic Policy from Reagan to Trump’, focuses on the material origins of Neoliberalism, as the latest phase in capitalist restructuring of the US economy. In the process it critiques most accounts of Neoliberalism to date as too focused on ideas (and ideological) while insufficiently considering the material forces driving the evolution of Neoliberalism, including technological change, financialization & globalization of capitalist product markets, radical transformation of labor markets and jobs, change in the nature of money & money markets, and the new requirements of US capitalist expansion and retention of its global economic empire.
The themes of the book, and the summary articles and radio interviews address: how US Neoliberalism has evolved since the late 1970s decade, how its evolution lost momentum in the 2008-09 crash, why Obama’s regime failed to restore it, why Trump policies represent a new more aggressive, virulent form of Neoliberal policy regime, and why Trump’s restoration will fail.
