Neoliberalism is dying: what's next?

Are we living through the end of the neoliberal era?

I think we are, and I think the moment it became undeniable was Mark Carney’s speech at Davos.

Neoliberalism wasn’t an accident. It was a deliberate ideological project built around the myth that “freedom through markets” would deliver freedom for everyone. Instead, it delivered:

• rent extraction

• precarity

• instability

• a hollowed-out state

• rising inequality and insecurity

In this video, I explain how neoliberalism was constructed, why it relied on weakening democracy, why it evolved into rentier capitalism, and why it is now collapsing in plain sight, economically, socially, and politically.

And then I ask the real question: what replaces it? Is that a politics of care — or authoritarianism?
