Growing up Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher told us that capitalism went hand in hand with freedom and democracy.

Today we can see that capitalists can quite comfortably walk hand in hand with authoritarianism and fascism to maintain and consolidate their wealth and power.

I grew up at the same time. Your post reminded me of this article in The Guardian

Neoliberalism – the ideology at the root of all our problems

Financial meltdown, environmental disaster and even the rise of Donald Trump – neoliberalism has played its part in them all. Why has the left failed to come up with an alternative?
