The Timeline of Neoliberalism

DESCRIPTION
Sometimes the best way to describe an ideology is to highlight key events in its development. Today we continue to scratch below the surface of neoliberalism to uncover crucial moments in history from the birth of an idea in the 1940s, a brief test phase in the 60s and the full on assault that began in the 1970s.

ABOUT UNFTR
Unf*cking the Republic (UNFTR for short) is a longform podcast that covers U.S. politics through a progressive socioeconomic lens. Each episode is a deep and delicious audio dive into a particular subject that helps explain how we arrived in Bizarro America, the funhouse mirror version of what was originally intended. The UNFTR YouTube channel is designed to break some of these larger concepts into smaller more digestible pieces.

These digestible dives really work in this format Max.

Thanks for yet an other one. Nice recap.

Max, the production value has gone up very quickly indeed! Did your kids start helping you? The message and delivery are on point as always, sorry if I don't always mention that but it seems like a complete given to me at this point. What you, 99 and Manny put out is absolutely top notch. One thing that is distracting me from the phenomenal content is this weird spot on the WWW of the UNFTR plaque in the background (which is one of my favorite pieces in the frame personally. I think the books have stayed the same, which I honestly expected to either change with the topic or change just to highlight different texts) that kind of looks like a dead pixel in that camera. I started thinking you're using a green screen and that's just a tell, which I haven't ruled out, but I'm leaning to this being the real background in the room you're in. Thank you for putting these all together! I have a lot of faith that these short form videos will help people go from the irrationally conservative youth I was when I joined the Army, to the compassionate (or at least trying to be) and more thoughtful adult I am now. I find this journey has made life more complicated, while also making more sense. Anyway, thank you again!

Even if we are exiting the peak of neoliberalism I feel like it will take decades to right all the wrongs that have been perpetrated by it. Keep pushing for change!

Thanks for yet another great episode Max! Y'all are doing great with the videos! However, this story is so f*** depressing - let's get to some soon!

Thanks for another informative video, Max. Appreciate how you connect the dots so clearly. I live in CA, and too many intelligent but under-informed people here still worship Reagan. Easier to believe that those were the good old days (for wealthy, white Americans anyway) than to carefully review all that he enabled and subsequent fall-out. Do Progressives have equivalent think tanks or organizations to create and enact long-term strategies like this?

I had to run through this more than once because on my first watch, I ended up going down a rabbit hole looking up the precise definitions of perverted and perverse in non-sexual contexts, which was more difficult than it should have been.

You said “neoliberalism” 50 times in this video but you can’t even define it.

Don't forget the 1960's CIA created culture complete with experiments on the population with LSD 😂
