This is important history.

How Labor and Liberal governments influenced by neoliberal ideology turned education from a common good to a corporate interest. How Liberal PMs John Howard magnified the problem & Scott Morrison totally forked it.

How Scott’s pernicious legacy continues to fork over new students, every day.

How did Australian universities go from free education to $50,000 arts degrees in 50 years?

Thanks to the Job Ready Graduates scheme, an arts degree today will cost over $50,000. How have five decades of government policy taken us from free education to this?

Book Review: The Shock Doctrine

This 2007 book explained the follies of neoliberal economic policies. It was so popular that it should have changed the world. But it didn't.

The author is back again on the lecture circuit, explaining woes of neoliberalism again.

Until Naomi Klein advocates for the end of political parties, the uber wealthy will making most of the decisions--in their favor.

The real reason for the declining rates of numeracy and literacy in OECD countries isn't "smartphones" and "TikTok attention spans", it's #neoliberalism and the deliberate data manipulation for profit by the billionaires who control media platforms of all kinds, and the politicians they fund who are purposefully destroying our education systems.

The 21st Century has seen the rise of a tech that never existed before—not "AI", but the algorithmic, personalized manipulation of datastreams.

#WordWeavers 2025-11-12 12. Choose a book from the real world that would be a perfect match for your antagonist.

Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged"
The antagonists (#billionaires #plutocrats #oligarchs) are entirely deluded about the world. IMO - that book has been one of the most influential books of the past century in shaping the worldview of the vast majority of decision-makers.

There is a language trap here, #liberalism, and by extension #neoliberalism dominate conversations. The clear and urgent challenge, to step away from entrenched thinking https://hamishcampbell.com/clear-and-urgent-challenge-to-step-away-from-entrenched-thinking/

This woman sounds delusional. The neoliberals main concern with the shutdown is the lack of holiday spending. Now I understand. They want people to SPEND before they learn they won’t be able to afford insurance.

Shaheen says ‘we are going to continue to fight’ after supporting shutdown deal

The U.S. Senate has taken the first step towards a deal that would end the federal government shutdown. New Hampshire Sen. Jeanne Shaheen has been negotiating with Republicans and was one of seven Democrats to vote in favor of the agreement on Sunday.
