  • Another neoliberal institution shown to be unfit for purpose while lining the pockets of private equity and millionaires
    on 27 July 2026 by bill

    Over the last several years, I have been indicating that I think we are in the endgame for neoliberalism as a dominant ideology.

    on 13 July 2026 by bill

    Last week, I considered recent research published by the BIS – Bank of International Settlements pushing the ‘growth friendly austerity’ myth – which was a classic example of how the sense of urgency and crisis is engendered by constructing the narrative in such a restricted manner that real world options are excluded which contradict the…
