reagan was not remotely neoliberal (though he was a disillusioned former socialist and union leader) but he did knock liberalism off its perch.
it was clinton who delivered the democrats to wall street and vice versa
- kennywinker 6mo agoReagan is canonically neoliberal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaganomics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaganomics (it’s literally the first descriptive word used when defining his economic policies). Maybe it’s time for a refresher on what neoliberal means? It’s not simply “new liberalism”. Reaganomics was the start of neoliberalism in the US, tho of course it shifted and developed its character further over time into the monster that drives 99% of our problems today
