Political philosophy that supports economic liberalization
POPULARITY
Categories
This week we look at a pattern that has been building for years and is now accelerating: the establishment panicking, and the increasingly desperate measures it is reaching for in response. The AfD ban report in Germany, the EU Parliament procedure against the Europe of Sovereign Nations party, the removal of Hungary's president, and the Le Pen conviction all arrived within weeks of each other. They are not the same story, but they rhyme, do they?We start with the deeper question of why the establishment finds itself here. The short answer is that it stopped having ideas. Neoliberal managerialism replaced political vision, triangulation replaced conviction, and the result is a political class that can tell you the inflation target but cannot tell you what kind of society it wants to build in twenty-five years. Into that vacuum, populists of the left and the right stepped with a simpler offer: here is your enemy, and we will fight them for you. Voters, being emotional rather than rational creatures, responded. And once anchored to that tribal identity, they do not let go when the populist fails to deliver. They simply find the next one.We then work through the case studies. The EU procedure against ESN is philosophically incoherent: you cannot claim to defend liberal democracy by deciding which parties are allowed to participate in it. The AfD ban report raises a genuinely harder question, since Germany's constitution explicitly anticipates this scenario, but the legal and political processes need to stay separate or the cure becomes the disease. Hungary under Magyar is the most complex: purging Orbán's system using some of Orbán's methods, restructuring public broadcasting by decree, removing the president through a tailor-made constitutional amendment. Some of it is defensible. Some of it sets precedents that will outlast Magyar's good intentions. And Le Pen, twice convicted, is running for president, because the electorate she is appealing to has long since stopped holding corruption against the people who tell them what they want to hear.This podcast is an individual project between us, Dario Hasenstab and Balder Hageraats.

It didn’t always cost this much and deliver this little. Something broke in the early 1980s—and in AMERICA’S WRONG TURN: US Health Care in the Neoliberal Era (Johns Hopkins University Press, August 11, 2026 . You can use Promo-Code of HTWN at checkout to get 30% discount ), John E. McDonough explains exactly what it was. The failings of the American healthcare system didn’t happen by accident. They happened because its already sprawling, fragmented structure—Medicare, Medicaid, employer-sponsored insurance, the VA, and more—left it uniquely exposed to a de-regulatory wave that moved fast and largely out of public view. A bedrock faith in free markets was let into the hen house, and the results are stark: the U.S. now spends more and delivers worse outcomes than any other wealthy nation on earth. John McDonough watched neo-liberal economic agenda reshape American political thinking—often without recognizing the seismic nature of the shift in the moment. Its narrow focus on economic and business interests altered government’s role, drove consolidation across industries, deregulated the healthcare sector, and shifted corporate priorities away from consumer benefit and toward shareholder returns. [ dur: 36 mins. ] John McDonough is a professor at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and a former Massachusetts state legislator who served thirteen years in the 1980s and 1990s as neo-liberalism was overtaking American political life. He has also co-authored Overcoming the Digital Divide in Health Care AI. Then, many observers argue, that the economic forces are corrupting medical care and eroding the trust between patients and their doctors. The problems in health care delivery have wide implications related to how health care should function particularly when there are limited resources. We examine the ethics of medicine and healthcare, and the modern day issues that complicate them. [ dur: 22 mins. ] Note: this segment is an excerpt from interview recorded on January 16, 2015.

In this episode, Fiona and Marlene chat with Stuart Donald about his landmark research paper, "Lifting the Lid on Britain's Pressure Cooker Politics: How Inequality and Neoliberal Capture Broke First Past the Post." Stuart reveals how the UK's First-Past-The-Post voting system is directly linked to the chronic inequality crisis we see across Britain today. Drawing on 40 years of data on regional deprivation and voting trends, this groundbreaking paper connects Margaret Thatcher's accentuated Parliamentary majorities of the 1980s, the rise of neoliberalism, and the structural inequalities that have made the UK one of the most unequal nations among its Western European peers. Key topics covered: 00:02:10 UK worst inequality compared to Euroean peers 00:03:16 Neoliberal capture in FPTP countries 00:07:20 The Barker Report - Labour's Dilemma 00:11:04 The Middle Class Revolt 00:15:44 Downward Mobility and the Brexit vote 00:17:46 Marginality more important than Need 00:18:28 Orphaning the Have-Nots 00:24:36 Andy Burnham and PR 00:29:00 Farage's new power base 00:32:59 Looming effects of the climate emergency 00:37:45 Individualism - the Road to Hell 00:40:18 What about Scotland? 00:50:08 The Only Conclusion Stuart's follow-up to his previous paper, The Temper Trap, makes a compelling case that Britain's current crises didn't happen by accident—they're structural. If you want to understand the roots of regional inequality, political polarization, and populism in Britain, this conversation is essential listening.

Diese Folge ist eine ehrliche, kritische und sehr persönliche Auseinandersetzung mit dem, was gerade in unserer Gesellschaft passiert: ein massiver Shift zurück in Schlankheitsideale, nur diesmal verpackt in neue Begriffe wie Wellness, Self-Care, Glow-ups, Anti-Aging oder High Performance.Ich spreche darüber, wie sich Diet Culture verändert hat, aber im Kern gleich geblieben ist. Körper werden wieder stärker bewertet, verglichen und in Trends gepresst. Skinny Trends, Looksmaxing, „What I eat in a day“-Content, Anti-Aging-Hypes und der permanente Optimierungsdruck zeigen, wie sehr sich unser Blick auf den Körper gerade verschiebt und gleichzeitig verengt.Dabei geht es nicht nur um Social Media Trends, sondern um etwas Tieferes. Um die Frage, warum Frauenkörper immer wieder zu Projekten, Kategorien und Trends gemacht werden. Warum Sexualisierung, Bewertung und Vergleich gerade wieder so normalisiert werden und wie stark das unser Selbstbild beeinflusst.Ich spreche auch darüber, wie sich diese Entwicklung mit traditionellen Rollenbildern verbindet, warum Diversität gerade wieder verschwindet und was passiert, wenn Selbstfürsorge langsam zu Selbstoptimierung wird. Sport, Yoga, Ernährung, sogar Spiritualität geraten dabei immer öfter in eine Leistungs- und Optimierungslogik, die eigentlich nicht ihr Ursprung ist.Am Ende bleibt eine zentrale Frage: Wem dient das eigentlich alles und warum fällt es uns so schwer, Frauenkörper einfach in Ruhe zu lassen?Eine Folge über Optimierungswahn, Skinny Trends, Körperbilder, Social Media Druck, Diet Culture, Feminismus, Selbstwert und die leise Rückkehr alter Ideale in neuen Worten.Ich habe unter anderem folgende Quellen genutzt:BR - Bye Bye Body Positivity?Neoliberal capitalism and the political aesthetics of tradwife imageryLouisa DellertConnect with me!Wenn auch dir diese Folge Hoffnung oder Inspiration gegeben hat, teile sie gern, kommentiere oder bewerte diesen Podcast und verbinde dich wie immer auf Instagram oder über meine Website mit mir
Part 4 of Setting Precedent: The Right to Protest on Campus - a podcast miniseries that tells the whole story behind the lawsuit activists have launched against the University of Calgary and the Calgary Police in response to an encampment eviction on the campus back in May 2024.Dr. Roberta Lexier, an expert of student movements in Canada, explains why institutions like the University of Calgary are responding to peaceful protests with such hostility. She provides historical context for the shifting relationship between student activists and their, now "neoliberal corporatist" universities.She's also points to examples from campuses, and makes the case that post-secondary schools across Canada are becoming increasily intolerant of the very activists they helped create. Although the Palestinian exception weighs heavily on how universities (and Police) approach protests, Dr, Lexier talks about many other factors that play into what student movements are up against these days.If you missed the first (3) three parts - they can be listened to in any order.Part 1 featured Dr. Raheleh Tarani and her story of participating in the peaceful protest with her son one minute, and being pinned by police the next. We heard about the impact that had on her, and how she's reclaiming power through the court.Part 2: Liaising with Police - Calgary based activist Wesam Cooley talks about his role as the encampment's police liaison, and what its been like trying to hold police and other parties accountable in Alberta.Part 3: Charter Violations - Legal counsel for the nine Plaintiffs, Chris Weibe, on the merits of the case, what a victory would mean, and what its like going after the state on behalf of activists.Hosted by: Jessa McLean and Santiago Helou QuinteroCall to Action: DONATE TO THE LEGAL FUND FOR THE PLAINTIFFSRelated Episodes: Student Hunger Strike - Its Only a Matter of Time (Apr 2025) UBC & UBCO student activists talk about their hunger strike and other efforts to have their University divest from weapons manufacturers.

While the podcast team is taking a Radical Sabbatical, Kim is interviewing authors of the books that have had a big impact on her in the past two years. In this episode, Kim speaks with Gary Gerstle, best-selling author of The Rise and Fall of the Neoliberal Order and ten other books. Kim said that after reading this book, she began to feel that when it comes to economic policy, we really have a one-party system. The architect of the New Deal Order was FDR, a Democrat, but its general contractor was Eisenhower, arguably the most progressive of all American presidents. The architect of the Neoliberal order was Reagan, but its general contractor was Clinton. Kim also said that reading this book made her realize that, time and again throughout her career, she thought she was working towards progressive ends, not understanding how neoliberalism had taken hold of the Democratic Party. Gerstle explains that “the phrase political order is meant to connote a constellation of ideologies, policies, and constituencies that shape American politics in ways that endure beyond the two-, four-, and six-year election cycles. In the last hundred years, America has had two political orders: the New Deal order that arose in the 1930s and 1940s, crested in the 1950s and 1960s, and fell in the 1970s; and the neoliberal order that arose in the 1970s and 1980s, crested in the 1990s and 2000s, and fell in the 2010s At the heart of each of these two political orders stood a distinctive program of political economy. The New Deal order was founded on the conviction that capitalism left to its own devices spelled economic disaster. It had to be managed by a strong central state able to govern the economic system in the public interest. The neoliberal order, by contrast, was grounded in the belief that market forces had to be liberated from government regulatory controls that were stymying growth, innovation, and freedom. The architects of the neoliberal order set out in the 1980s and 1990s to dismantle everything that the New Deal order had built across its forty-year span. Now it, too, is being dismantled. Alarmingly, there seems to be no coherent policy around whatever it is replacing the Neoliberal order–just a mad grab for wealth, leading to even greater disparities than those that led to the Gilded Age's excesses and to the Great Depression. Guest Background: Gary Gerstle is Paul Mellon Professor of American History Emeritus and Paul Mellon Director of Research at the University of Cambridge. He is the author and editor of more than ten books, including two prizewinners, American Crucible (2017) and Liberty and Coercion (2015). He is a Guardian columnist and has also written for the Atlantic Monthly, the New Statesman, Dissent, The Nation, and Die Zeit, among others.

14 - ALMANAC - The neoliberal model behind the NDIS by Australian Citizens Party
Sobre Economia Política da Comunicação e da Cultura (EPCC) da Fundação Casa de Rui Barbosa.Autor do podcast: Carolina Fioravante, bolsista PIC do grupo de pesquisa EPCC da FCRB.No episódio de hoje do Economia Política da Comunicação e da Cultura (EPCC), debatemos o artigo "Representação e representatividade no ecossistema midiático contemporâneo: problemas conceituais e políticos", de Luanda Dias Schramm e Eduardo Kohl, refletindo sobre como a crescente demanda por representatividade identitária na mídia corporativa tem sido apropriada por lógicas de mercado sem que haja transformação estrutural das desigualdades que motivam tais demandas. A discussão aborda a história do conceito de representação política desde Hobbes, Pitkin, Burke e Hamilton, articulando-o às teorias contemporâneas de reconhecimento e redistribuição de Fraser, Honneth, Brown, Hall e Haider, e analisa as implicações da midiatização da política para os sistemas representativos. A conversa considera diferentes perspectivas teóricas que problematizam a mera visibilidade midiática de sujeitos subalternizados como forma de despolitização das lutas sociais, examinando mecanismos como tokenização, pinkwashing e queerbaiting, e defendendo que a representatividade só é progressista quando vinculada a projetos de transformação social que una reconhecimento, redistribuição e democratização dos meios de comunicação.Coordenação do canal: Dra.

The United States is finding itself increasingly isolated as the conflict with Iran deepens. Key allies in Europe and elsewhere have shown little appetite for endorsing or joining Washington's military course, and European officials have publicly stressed diplomacy over escalation. Reuters reported on March 17, 2026 that EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas called for a diplomatic solution around the Strait of Hormuz rather than a military response. At the same time, reporting indicates that U.S. efforts to rally allied support have largely been rebuffed. AP reported that NATO and several major partners, including Japan, Australia, South Korea, and China, declined to join the U.S. effort tied to the conflict, while European leaders distanced themselves from Trump's unilateral approach. That leaves Washington trying to defend not only the war itself, but the way it began. Critics argue that the United States has not publicly demonstrated that Iran posed an imminent threat warranting attack, and they point to the lack of broad international backing, the absence of consultation with Congress and allies, and the fact that diplomacy with Iran had not fully run its course. Those are now central arguments in the global debate over whether the strikes were lawful, strategic, or reckless. Some critics and diplomats have gone further, suggesting the action violated international norms, though such legal claims remain accusations and would ultimately depend on formal international findings rather than political rhetoric alone. President Trump, meanwhile, appears to be walking a narrow and rather windy ridge. Even as he pressed allies to help secure the Strait of Hormuz, he also signaled that the U.S. could go forward without them. That contradiction has only amplified the impression of a White House scrambling to justify both the war and its growing diplomatic costs. What makes this moment so ominous is not only the violence, but the political isolation surrounding it. If the United States continues down a path of unilateral warfare while alienating the allies it never properly consulted, it risks turning a regional conflict into a broader crisis of legitimacy. Great powers often say they are saving the world; history, with a raised eyebrow, usually asks for receipts.If you want this same piece turned into a tighter op-ed, a letter to the editor, or a social media caption thread, I can shape it into that form too.This article was published in The Neoliberal Journals and written and narrated by Renaldo McKenzie, Editor-in-Chief at The Neoliberal and Creator and Host of The Neoliberal RoundArticle Link: https://theneoliberal.com/a-war-without-allies-trump-struggles-to-garner-nato-support/
Bully, Duplicitous, Hypocritical, Arrogant, Juvenile, dishonest, Racist, Revengeful are the adjectives used to assess Donald Trump's presidency and leadership today, as we brace ourselves for a war; we thought wars were far from his America first agenda. Author of the Upcoming Book, Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered: Unfair Competition and the Death of Nations, Rev. Renaldo McKenzie sits down with his twin brother, Ricardo McKenzie, and explored the failures of Trump's leadership in America and the World today. Renaldo begins with a terse and strident rebuke of the President for his double-steps, incendiary actions towards other leaders and turning his back on America First. Renaldo and Ricardo discusses the US-Israel's war with Iran in the Middle East and even go as far as to describe the Trump's declarations as empty, an attempt to save face as the regime in Iran did not change and the war seems to be dragging out further and creating a world crisis larger than Trump expected. Trump dragged the US into a war that was poorly planned and executed without informing US allies and has even injured American credibility in the world and long standing partnerships but now wants to go to war when we need those partnerships. It is quite foolish and daunting and arrogant to think we can upset the world and now ask them for their support.This is an intense episode of The Neoliberal Round Podcast which is a media and information Non-Profit platform aimed at making popular what was the monopoly.The Neoliberal Round is operated by Renaldo McKenzie and The Neoliberal Corporation.Visit us at https://anchor.fm/theneoliberal or https://youtube.com/ @RenaldoMckenzie The Neoliberal is at https://theneoliberal.com and https://renaldocmckenzie.comThe Neoliberal can be reached at info@theneoliberal.com or calling 445-260-9198.Subscribe for free and follow US!
Politics keeps offering us drama in place of design. We sat down with Nicholas D. Vairo to chart how the post-liberal moment slid from grand promises into a Bonapartist reality: a leader-first spectacle with no plan to build or maintain the institutions that make a society work. The core insight isn't just about ideology; it's about capacity. Professional elites still run what functions, for better and worse, because no competing class has figured out how to reproduce competence at scale.We unpack why Yarvin-style CEO fantasies and Deneen's mixed-constitution nostalgia mirror historical dead ends. The French parallels are illuminating: attempts to jury-rig monarchs and blended constitutions collapsed into Bonapartism, not renewal. That's where we are now—big talk, weak statecraft, and a movement that confuses obedience with order. Meanwhile, liberalism struggles with the deeper wound: a crisis of socialization. Without strong civil society—churches, associations, unions, schools that do more than sort—people can't generate shared meaning or stable norms. That vacuum breeds nihilism and brittle politics.We also go material. Neoliberal underinvestment hollowed America's productive base, leaving the U.S. with high labor productivity but low capital intensity and a long productivity slump ahead. Tariffs and culture war won't fix a capacity gap that took decades to create. China offers a counterexample—not as a model to copy, but as proof that disciplined investment and state competence matter more than performative revolt. On technology, we challenge fatalism: AI can de-skill or empower depending on the incentives and institutions wrapped around it. Design education for mastery and collaboration, and the tools raise the floor; design it for compliance and shortcuts, and skills atrophy.Where does that leave the left? With work to do. We argue for pro-factional, member-driven organizations that build beyond elections, tie back into unions and tenant power, and actually teach people to run things. Less content, more construction. If post-liberalism's disillusion teaches anything, it's that there's no substitute for institutions that build meaning and capacity together.If this resonates, subscribe, share with a friend who's wrestling with these questions, and leave a review telling us which institution you think we must rebuild first.Send a text Musis by Bitterlake, Used with Permission, all rights to BitterlakeSupport the showCrew:Host: C.

Question: How do you get rid of Obamacare or The Affordable Care Act while saving face? During Trump's reign between 2016 and 2020 he and the GOP tried to jettison Obamacare but were unable to do so. But with so many depending on Obamacare including Trump and the GOP supporters, getting rid of Obamacare is not so easy legislatively as this would make them unpopular. So they are now using strategy and tactics to kill Obamacare. By not including government subsidies they have driven up the cost of Obamacare and therefore many people are dropping their health plans acquired through Obamacare. So then if you cannot afford the plan why require people to have health insurance? That's the idea here. The GOP dies not need to have a vote to end Obamacare they just need to find a way to drive up the cost so that the law becomes irrelevant and unpopular so that it becomes easy to get rid of the requirement and therefore the act. This was a genius plan that may work, however, the middle class will pick up the slack and this may backfire.Renaldo McKenzie of The Neoliberal Corporation and The Neoliberal discuss on this series of On A Quick Note on The Neoliberal Round.Subscribe on any stream.

We are calling February African History Month in America instead of Black History Month, because African Americans are not Black they are of African Heritage or Africans. We prefer African History instead of Black History because the term black is part of philosophy that drives a particular perspective about people of Africa. They say "nothing black is good; African Americans are Black; Therefore African Americans are Black and therefore not good" So to drive a different perspective and to inculcate the pride of African American we do not do injustice to the people of Africa who live in America and say African People in America.In today's Episode we reflect on this and our history that is largely bastardized and forgotten. We are re-sharing an episode we did in April 2022 where Renaldo Mckenzie interviewed the Shekhems at the Ausar Asset Society in Germantoen Philadelphia discussing Kamit and Kamitic Spirituality, and African spirituality that has marked the peoples of Africa that we have forgotten.The episode is powerful. It was originally published on April 2022. Renaldo provides an introduction then reshares the episode.Share this show with your friends and remember to subscribe.

Was the populist far right a reaction to neoliberal free market fundamentalism? Or, as historian Quinn Slobodian argues, did such rightwing currents come out of the ideas of neoliberalism itself? Slobodian reflects on neoliberal thinkers' preoccupation with racist and misogynistic ideas of human nature and intelligence, borders and gold — all in service to their war on the left. (Encore presentation.) Quinn Slobodian, Hayek's Bastards: Race, Gold, IQ, and the Capitalism of the Far Right Zone Books, 2025 The post The Neoliberal Roots of Rightwing Populism appeared first on KPFA.

Are we seeing the emergence of a new conjuncture for urbanism? The final part of our mini series asks whether authoritarian neoliberalism has created the conditions for a more illiberal and distinct type of urban governance . Authoritarianism is not new to neoliberalism – the Pinochet regime, Thatcherism in the UK – these were evidently authoritarian and neoliberal, and given crises and stagnation it is no surprise to see these tendencies re-animated. But is something more also happening? The high point of neoliberal hegemony was associated with the development of technocratic, often obscure, market systems as well as notions of ‘sustainable development and even at times ‘participation' and ‘consensus' even if these were highly circumscribed. When we look at some new urban projects today, and those envisaged by leading powers, there seems to be less room for both markets, preventing climate breakdown or ‘woke' notions of democracy and instead a more naked focus on iconoclastic real estate projects regardless of the social and ecological cost. The episode is hosted by Gareth Fearn with guests Jason Luger, Miklós Dürr, Aysegul Can and Oksana Zaporozhets. This episode is one of a three-part series which cover different aspects of ‘authoritarian neoliberal urbanism', based on a special issue in the Urban Studies Journal edited by Guldem Ozatagan, Gareth Fearn and Ayda Eraydin.

This week Maddy Grace returns to talk about all sorts of stuff, mostly focused on Gen Z and the different world they grew up in compared to Gen X oldies like me. We talk cocaine and it's increasing popularity in Gen Z, Cigarettes, sex work, politics, protest, power, and we dive into the current pornscape and its impact on young heterosexual men, who have a very different relationship with their sexuality on the whole than Gen X did.

In the first episode of a two-part series, Julia is joined by Binchtopia favorite Allegra Chapman to lovingly dissect the mind-bending genre of reality TV. The girlies trace its evolution from chaotic human experimentation into neoliberal propaganda, mapping the multiverse across TLC, E!, MTV, and Bravo while decoding the cultural logic each network normalizes along the way. Digressions include the ultimate guide to landing yourself a cruise bae, Boston as a cosmic punishment, and Allegra's short-lived stint as a puck bunny. This episode was produced by Julia Hava and Kylie Finnigan and edited by Livi Burdette.

Jared Yates Sexton joins Anthony Davis to discuss the collapse of neoliberalism and the rise of authoritarian capitalism in the United States. How decades of wealth redistribution, weakened democracy, and global exploitation have created the conditions for Trump's rise and and how neoliberalism evolved into oligarchic control, why cost-of-living pressures fuel political anger, and the dangers of normalizing cruelty, white nationalism, and repression. Together, they examine the urgent need for a hopeful, material alternative vision for America's future - only on The Weekend Show. Independent media has never been more important.

Screening Precarity integrates a cultural analysis of film texts and history, industry transformations, and the violence and crises of political economy infrastructures, to study post-liberalization shifts in the Hindi film industry in India. The book investigates Bollywood as a media system that has moved away from the glee and gusto of liberalization in the 1990s to an industry contending with the failures and inadequacies of neoliberalism's promises, and the ascendency of the material-affective redressals offered by religious ethnonationalism. The monograph examines 19 Hindi-language films released post-2010 to study contemporary India's precarious public sphere which has been characterized by a pervasive sense of professional-personal insecurity experienced by the vast majority. This is a book about the role of cinema, or cultural texts more generally, in a period marked by incredible insecurity, violence, and the absence of collective political alternatives. Screening Precarity is an intervention in the politics of representation, particularly, of how marginal identities are shaped, scripted, and screened in precarious times. It is also a cultural analysis of how the biggest film industry in the world is embedded in global media networks, and marshals state power and star power, national histories and transnational fantasies, structural impossibilities and individual agency. Megha Anwer is a theorist of literature and visual culture. Her research areas include contemporary postcolonial literature, global cinema, Victorian literature and visual culture. Anupama Arora is a professor of English and Communication, and Women's and Gender Studies, at the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth. Dr Priyam Sinha is an Alexander Von Humboldt Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Institute for Asian and African Studies, Humboldt University in Berlin. Her research interests lie at the intersection of critical media industry studies, disability studies, gender studies, affect studies, production culture studies, and anthropology of the body.

Renaldo McKenzie, Author of the Neoliberalism book series, discusses his upcoming book in light of what is happening in the world today. Renaldo raises the issue of unfair competition a theme in his books and also classism and racism and zero in on the reason why Trump's America first is a facade - America first like racism is a strategic distraction to elitism. Renaldo asserts that Trump is willing to give billions of dollars to Argentina but is unwilling to extend the ACA healthcare premiums for millions of Working Class Americans whose insurance is set to go up. Renaldo highlights the issue of unfair competition in the world where post-industrial countries unfairly profit from Global South and vulnerable countries in the Global South while advancing draconian immigration policies on these countries while charging tariffs in addition to the huge gains they get from unfair tactics with these countries.Renaldo briefly notes these as points he will consider in his book that his coming up - Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered, Unfair Competition and the Death of Nations, part 2 in the Neoliberalism book series.Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered is co-authored by Professor Emeritus Martin Oppenheimer.Renaldo McKenzie is also the author of "Neoliberalism Globalization Income Inequality Poverty and Resistance"Renaldo is a graduate of University of Pennsylvania and a Professor at Jamaica Theological Seminary where he teaches Caribbean Thought in the Summer.

Residents from Black River, St. Elizabeth, are sounding the alarm, and frankly, it's hard not to share their outrage. In the fragile hours after the hurricane swept through, what should have been a coordinated, decisive government response instead looked like hesitation, confusion, and absence.Some people are alleging that the relief agencies on the ground were ineffective—no tents, no structured food program, no organized medical presence. In a disaster of this scale, essential services should have been stationed and ready: emergency tents, mobile clinics, water and sanitation units, ground teams tracking displaced residents, and a rapid deployment of resources to stabilize those most affected. That simply did not happen. Instead, helicopters circled overhead, assessing the destruction from a distance, while families on the ground waited—hungry, exposed, unaccounted for. Displaced residents still don't have proper shelter. They don't have a central point of service. They don't have a coordinated system guiding them toward safety, medical care, or basic necessities. In 2025, after so many global lessons in disaster management, this should never be the story. And yet here we are.Let's be clear: relief comes before rebuilding. Before talk of construction, procurement, or long-term recovery, there must be tents, food, water, sanitation, health services, child protection services, and community support teams on the ground immediately. That's Emergency Response 101. You stabilize the people, then you move to rebuilding the community.But from all accounts, Jamaica's government response is lagging—and community members are noticing. Many are openly saying that if it weren't for people like Shaggy and other Jamaican celebrities abroad, flying in and stepping up, many families would still be starving, stranded, and forgotten.It shouldn't take celebrity intervention for people to get basic relief.So the question stands like a heavy drumbeat: What is going on?Why weren't emergency tents pre-positioned? Why wasn't there an immediate medical and sanitation rollout? Why do residents have to beg for what should be automatic in a disaster? And most importantly: Who is accountable for this breakdown, and when will the people of Black River get the relief they deserve?By Rev. Renaldo C McKenzie, Author of "Neoliberalism. Globalization, Income Inequality Poverty and Resistance".

A Black patient is raising serious concerns about his recent hospitalization at Hackensack Meridian Riverview Medical Center in Red Bank, New Jersey, alleging that he experienced inadequate care, premature discharge, poor communication, and treatment that left him feeling marginalized and medically unsafe.The patient, admitted after collapsing on a tennis court, reports that in six days of hospitalization, he was never examined by a physician. Instead, he interacted solely with nurses and physician assistants. During this period, he says he continued to suffer the same symptoms—dizziness, fainting episodes, chest heaviness, and weakness—that initially led to his emergency admission.According to his account, diagnostic tests were performed without explanation, and results were either withheld or presented with incomplete or conflicting narratives. He states that medical staff attempted to discharge him despite persistent symptoms and without providing a follow-up discussion regarding an echocardiogram that revealed a bicuspid aortic valve—a congenital defect that can affect blood flow.He also reports that his dietary restrictions were ignored, with meals containing red meat and cheese despite repeated requests.One of the most troubling events he describes occurred during an attempted discharge: hospital staff reportedly instructed him to walk off the unit despite ongoing dizziness. While waiting at the pharmacy, he collapsed and had to be readmitted. He alleges that a nurse immediately went into “defensive mode” rather than assessing his condition, and that the emergency department doctor's system review revealed that he was still listed as an admitted patient, raising questions about the legitimacy of the initial discharge.The patient further states that a psychiatrist was sent to his room, though he had reported no psychiatric symptoms. He interprets this as part of a broader pattern in which Black patients' physical complaints are reframed as psychological, leading to delays in proper medical evaluation.On the day of his final discharge, an occupational therapist conducted orthostatic testing—a check for blood pressure changes with movement—and found significant fluctuations, along with visible unsteadiness in his gait. The therapist reportedly advised that he should not be discharged and recommended additional medical evaluation, including a head CT. However, the patient says no physician ever followed up, and the discharge proceeded despite these findings.When he requested to speak with hospital leadership about his concerns, he was met with a nurse manager and a nurse practitioner—neither of whom, he reports, addressed the outstanding medical issues or explained the decisions surrounding his care.The patient ultimately left the hospital still dizzy and weak, stating he did not feel he had received adequate care or clear medical guidance.His experience raises pressing questions about medical equity, communication, discharge protocols, and the treatment of Black and Brown patients in clinical settings.Hackensack Meridian Health at Riverview has not provided comment on these allegations. But we did speak with a Representative from Patient Experience about the issues and the Experience, we recorded the conversation and it's available on The Neoliberal Round Podcast season 15 Episode 1.Submitted by Rev. Renaldo McKenzie, Creator and Host and President of The Neoliberal.
Dr. Christoph Sorg is a social scientist at the Humboldt University of Berlin. He researches theories of capitalism and post-capitalism and the new debate on economic planning in times of digitalization and the climate crisis.During the interview we spoke about his work around understanding economic planning and his recent publication Finance as a form of economic planning. His work shows how even in the free market capitalism we live in today, there is actually a significant amount of planning, it's just that the planning is for facilitating capitalist economies, the neoliberal paradox.As the co-founder of projects like Bread Cooperative where we are trying to build out apps that facilitate post-capitalist economic relations, I think it's important for us to properly understand the current state of capitalism so that we know the kind of meaningful interventions we could make.
