Neoliberalism's Impact: A Historical Perspective
This chapter explores the historical roots and evolution of neoliberalism in the U.S., particularly during Reagan's presidency, and its consequences for American workers and urban communities. It connects economic policies to social issues like racism and critiques the failures of both major political parties in addressing the needs of marginalized groups. By analyzing growing class consciousness and the potential for transformative change through grassroots movements, the chapter underscores the necessity of challenging systemic failures in the current political landscape.
