Neoliberalism smacked down but good

In one of his best columns, Michael Lind says Clintonite neolibs were wrong back then, just as Obamiacs are today, about why the economy did well in the 1990s, and what we need to do to maintain that today.

Sadly, Lind is also spot-on in saying that neolibs' corporate backers don't want to do re-empower unions or do other things that might actually address income inequality. For example, what is the last time you have heard about even a watered-down version of the Employee Free Choice Act?
