Neoliberalism refers to the resurgence of free market ideas that characterized classical liberalism in the 19th century. It is based on the idea of economic freedom and limited government involvement in economic interactions between individuals.

Neoliberalism is very similar to classical liberalism. Both ideologies believe in privatization, deregulation, globalization, free trade, and limited government. However, neoliberalism differs in two key aspects. First of all, the idea covers the belief that monetary policy should be governed by a central bank. That means the central bank can decide how much money is in circulation and at what the interest rates should be.

Second of all, the idea covers the belief that the private charity is no longer sufficient to support the poor. It is therefore believed that government welfare is necessary, although in a far more limited amount than we see present today.

Lmao imagine thinking the works of Thomas Sowell are the intellectual equal of Marx's. Even if you are anti socialist/communist, you have to realize how stupid this is. Even if Marx is "wrong" he anticipated a lot of things about capitalism correctly.

Sowell on the other hand is a hack.

The joke is the title, not the author

Why do I even have to explain it?

It's funny if you don't enshrine the communist manifesto

Communism has failed everywhere it was attempted and will continue to fail. I can tell a white person made this comment.
