The point isn't to wow you with credentials. The point is that your previous insistence that this definition isn't correct or common is absurd.

In other words, an argument from authority.

To say that there has been no change in how the term is used or perceived over the last few year is utterly ridiculous.

You may be in an echo chamber because in politics and academics this rehabilitation is not known about.

Can't disagree with you that there may be a change in how it's been viewed, but to state that the "post rehabilitated neoliberalism" is equally if not more utterly ridiculous. Not to one up you, but please realize that. You're talking a Medium blog post vs how hundreds of millions of people view the term (whether they know what it is or not).

Argument by authority isn't fallacious in this instance.

If you are powerful and interconnected with government then the way that you use political terms has a large impact on their meaning.

One of the most powerful think-tanks in the world uses the term this way. That has a real world impact.

Given this, your insistence that "in politics and academics this rehabilitation is not known about" is absurd.

You are right that millions of people probably have no idea or still have a negative opinion of globalisation, etc, however I do not think that this is mutually exclusive with it being rehabilitated in some circles and notably so.
