The message to Democrats is clear: you must dump neoliberal economics

3. These attacks on "neoliberalism"

These attacks on "neoliberalism" (a term which seems to have a new definition in every column I read) are actually a full-throated endorsement of Trumponomics. Trump and his coterie of fascists like Thiel and Vance, believe that an unelected elite should control the economy, and by extension, get disproportionate shares of our nation's wealth. They fear markets, because in a truly free market, many of them would lose their grip on wealth and power.

So they attack markets by branding liberalism as something it isn't, then inviting both sides of the political spectrum to attack it, with the goal of ending free market economies and handing power over to the self-appointed elite. I am very disappointed that Stiglitz is playing along with this.
