“In concrete policy terms, neoliberalism means free trade, low taxes, deregulation, privatization, and balanced budgets.”

"Winner-Take-All Politics":
“...a number of Democrats (including Bill Clinton) joined together in a group called the Democratic Leadership Council with the goal of dragging the party to the right and boosting campaign contributions. They succeeded. ... Clinton cemented neoliberalism as the law of the land.”
“Republican elites took neoliberalism being one of their root organizing principles for granted while running campaigns using dog-whistle racism, never realizing that they were attracting a base of voters who hated immigrants a lot more than they hated regulation.”
“The problem is not globalization, but globalization implemented in such a way so as to benefit the wealthy and powerful.”
