Neoliberalism is a myth. It’s a pervasive myth on one side of politics – the left. But it is nevertheless a myth.
Let’s start with one simple and obvious fact – no-one claims to be a neoliberal.
This is rather odd.
Of course, in politics, people often accuse other people or parties of holding views they think are repugnant. Nazi, socialist, racist, liberal, Stalinist, are all terms of abuse hurled at opponents.
They are often wrong, but oddly there is almost always someone who is happy to claim the label. There are parties and groups happy to adopt each of the labels mentioned.
But oddly, no-one calls themselves a neoliberal. Only critics of this supposed doctrine use this label. Why?
