> The fact that "neoliberalism" is considered left should seriously concern anyone who has opened a history book. The problem is with the word liberalism in US. For Europeans: Liberalism == right wing... I guess it has taken a more cultural sense in US, where US liberalism is more about morals than economics (drugs, sex, gender, immigration...) and became a synonym for progressive, as opposed to conservatism and its pseudo religious aspects. Neo-liberalism clearly has a negative connotation in Europe, at least politically, it is synonym of ultra capitalism. |

Unmooring politics from the economic concerns of the voter (or of the person who lives here if voting isn't a question) rarely bodes well for the long-term health of the state.
There are exceptions of course—North Korea, perhaps?
