Neoliberal economists are liberal economists. It’s literally in the name.

Yes, the mask is fully off. So, again, won’t state power be needed to reign these people in?

The people at the top are just not competing as would be required to make an open and free market work.

Which seems to be an inevitability, unless state power is used to force the people at the top to play by the rules. But don’t most liberals consider that authoritarianism? It seems to me whenever something like that is mentioned, there is much hand wringing and clutching of pearls at the thought of such big government overreach.

Liberal economists will say this is perfectly fine. They’ll say The Market™ has decided and it’s never wrong.

Liberals gonna lib.
