I'd be the last to defend the neolibs, and the neolib agenda. But I've been finding out more about the origins of the belief system. It looks a lot like a product of its time, and there is an angle from which it's not just naked troughing for greed.

I'd guess most of the promoters are older than most of us on ET, and they will have had different experiences to draw on. Their problem now isn't that they're radical, it's that they're stuck in the past - specifically the 70s, when there was an economic climate in which their comments would almost have made some sense.

They're absolutely wrong today, but it could be useful for further debunking to understand why they believe these eccentric things. If I get time I'll try to put together a summary at some point.
