The End of the "Golden Age" of Capitalism and the Rise of Neoliberalism "The central point is that the financial sphere has the potential of developing into an autonomous subsystem of the whole economy with an enormous capacity of self-expansion.. Like cancer, it has no internal control mechanism. It can only be brought under control through external interventions.. In Pinochet's Chile, deregulation, privatization, tax cuts, monetarism and social dismantling were tested in detail by the Chicago boys before this policy mix was applied in the first industrial count...

The increasing inequality does not offend us; this inequality is the result of an active policy.

Now they are flying off the charts, thanks first to the tax cuts ushered in by Bush II and second to Obama’s recent continuation of those tax cuts, plus more, which have the effect of taking from the working class and poor in order to give to the rich....
