    I ask because Neoliberal Economics is all about this profit, and share holders first, type values.

    Sounds exactly like modern political liberals to me.

      Really?

      Most Democrat Politicians today certainly are on board. But they were late to buy in. The Republicans actually introduced Neoliberal Economics into politics, chiefly with Ronald Regan.

      Today it’s mostly the liberal side of the Democratic Party that introduces legislation to curb all the excesses of Neoliberal Economics.
