Neoliberalism and Economic Inequality

This chapter explores the impact of neoliberal policies on the U.S. economy since the late 20th century, highlighting issues like de-industrialization and stagnating wages among the working class. It examines how financialization has turned housing into a speculative asset and critiques the monopolization of industries by major tech firms. The discussion also reflects on the historical context of capitalism, revealing a pattern of wealth redistribution that continues to favor the elite over the broader population.
