I think I need to flag this fascinating and well-argued Guardian piece up. It is an outline of neoliberalism, arguing that this small-government, individualist ideology is the root cause of most of our problems today. That’s pretty self-evident, when you think about it: a system which promotes deregulation, a minimised state and encourages greed while blaming the most vulnerable people in society for their own woe is bound to lead to a massively unequal society where natural and human resources are utterly abused. The problem is, until we stop caring only about ourselves and see ourselves as one society, valuing each person’s contribution however small, I don’t see neoliberalism ending.
