Description: Neoliberalism is why we’ve become so unequal over the course of this party system. As a result, the US is more divided politically than most of us can remember. I'm a cultural historian, as in I study the cultural significance of historical events, so it pains me to admit this, but the economy has more influence than anything else upon political opinions, so neoliberalism is the most important component of America's political polarization. characteristics that unify neoliberals which are: -emphasis of individuality and rejection of groups -market liberalism and fiscal conservatism (which are kinda the same thing) -privatization of public goods and infrastructure -deregulating any corporations -austerity measures against welfare -and free trade agreements which allow for more rapid globalization *errata* 7:00 Hayek was the oldest man ever, lol, but actually born in 1899-1992 (thx Joshua Bell) ------------------------------------------------------------ Connected videos: 1:35 - US political polarization playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjnwpaclU4wXxGRwtV4EGk_vuAH2VkODS 10:25 - Race Riots: youtu.be/tAbkCU5nBhM 10:30 - Detroit: youtu.be/-aWoe17Fa0k 14:30 - WILSOOOON! playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjnwpaclU4wXmCcEx0vfIim_jFMkgtLmS 14:40 - police militarization: youtu.be/HehnDHNoItk 19:30 - anti-conspiracism playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjnwpaclU4wWS-H7U62SqWWEA-y2eqzoQ 24:00 - what caused the GWOT: youtu.be/7Nwe0ehW2nY 35:35 - Party Switch: youtu.be/hBHHIJG8Rds 35:40 - Culture War: youtu.be/tppeGYoWDxg ------------------------------------------------------------ See pinned comment and its replies for notes, responses, and errata *References* Moreton Bethany, _To Serve God and Wal-Mart: The Making of Christian Free Enterprise_ (Cambridge, Mass.; Harvard University Press, 2009). amzn.to/33uFrmn Jefferson Cowie, _The Great Exception: The New Deal and the Limits of American Politics_ (Princeton, N.Jer.: Princeton University Press, 2016). amzn.to/2ZbPOar Jefferson Cowie, _Stayin’ Alive: The 1970s and the Last Days of the Working Class_ (New York: The New Press, 2010). amzn.to/2KQT8Tb Thomas Frank, _The People, No: A Brief History of Anti-Populism_ (New York: Henry Holt and Company, 2020), audiobook. amzn.to/3usnwZx David Harvey, _A Brief History of Neoliberalism_ (Oxford, UK: Oxford University Press, 2007), audiobook. amzn.to/3enlCDM Robert L.
