"Neoliberalism is essentially an intentionally imprecise stand-in term for free-market economics, for economic sciences in general, for conservatism, for libertarians and anarchists, for authoritarianism and militarism, for advocates of the practice of commodification, for centre-left or market-oriented progressivism, for globalism and welfare-state social democracies, for being in favour of or against increased immigration, [for celebrating rocketing house prices or promoting policies to make them fall], for favouring trade and globalisation or opposing the same, or for really any set of political beliefs that happen to be disliked by the person(s) using the term."~ Phil Magness, from his article 'The Fairytale of Hegemonic Neoliberalism'

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
