The Neoliberal Playbook: Cut, Criticize, Privatize | Capitalism and Freedom Ch. 11-12

Final two chapters in the book! Today we're talking all about the Starve the Beast strategy that defines neoliberalism and right-wing economics: cutting public services, criticizing them when they don't work, and privatizing them when voters get sick of it (NHS anyone?). It's a formula Friedman popularized and it's one that the right has been running with ever since.

ALSO, however! We'll talk about the negative income tax -- the only good idea Friedman ever came up with (he got a lot of hate from his friends for it, don't worry).
