Neoliberalism and the Far-Right Connection
This chapter explores the deep ties between neoliberalism and far-right politics, particularly examining the role of Trump and the MAGA phenomenon as a frontlash against neoliberal globalization. It critiques common narratives of societal alienation post-globalization while analyzing how populist movements, including Brexit and Trump's campaign, align more closely with neoliberal principles than oppose them. By dissecting the various definitions and implications of neoliberalism, the chapter reveals the complexities of political sentiment and the historical significance of neoliberal intellectual movements.
