>"More than just a set of free-market policies, neoliberalism has always sought to alter society's balance of power in favor of bosses. Its assault on democracy and undermining of unions is now playing straight into the hands of the far right."

Good article, it is important to remember that Neoliberalism is a political project and that it is not an agent. It is a shared goal among different actors and its strength lies in its adaptability - just like capitalism itself. I think the author does a really good job offering an overview, especially of the different current populist articulations of political identities. "Neoliberalism, then, is much more than just a set of ideas about free markets. It’s a political project that aims not only to reduce the power of the state but, more concretely, to undermine the efforts of any collective actor — be it states, labor unions, political parties — to interfere with the decisions of private enterprises. This project to alter the balance of power is the key to its resilience."
