Philosophy Tube Debunked—Neoliberalism Explained

Philosophy Tube like many others in Great Britain wrongly conflate what we have been living under since the 1980s as being capitalism, he wrongly conflates capitalism with corporatism, most importantly, however, his argument on Neoliberalism is filled with many erroneous claims that I debunked.

Philosophy Tube much like knowledge hub makes erroneous claims about the wealth gap, this argument I have provided numerous times before, you can find two videos I have tackled on this argument:

Much like others I have done video responses on, he doesn't understand the role of prices and the importance of consumer demand, he seems oblivious to why liberalism is important for consumers to choose and fails to comprehend why the government cannot allocate scarce natural resources efficiently. Also, as he states providing for everyone's needs, it's a misunderstanding of the study of economics.

Neoliberalism was a made up term by the opposition to capitalism and as I've pointed out many times before in the past, the most successful economies are those strongly free from government intervention.

The rich are getting richer, so the system must be bad.
What you say? The poor are living better lives, too?
Who cares, the rich are getting richer! We can't have that! My -jealousy- sense of justice won't allow this!

If someone thinks Regan is libertarian, they are a doofus

I have a question. Let us say that in a free market society a group of people get together and make their own little government where they willingly pay taxes would that in your mind be ok? Or let’s say a system wide change was made and while you still have to pay taxes you get to decide what they are used for, would you support that?

[neilstone]

Playing devils advocate I can think of a way to use consumer demand in a centrally planned economy (I have many friends who are social democrats and I was/still am sort of at least a little) and it is through the use of surveys. You ask people what they want and they tell you, what ever has the highest majority would win

"Also, as he states providing for everyone's needs, it's a misunderstanding of the study of economics."

I don't think that's a sentence, my dude.

Neoliberalism is a particular type of state-capitalism. Your video is confused, you should listen to libertarian alliances analysis of the different between liberalism and Neo-liberalism.

It's actually unbelievable how stupid and/or deceptive PhilosophyTube is.

[baroncruelty]

I didn’t see any debunking. What did this ignoramus debunk? Philosophy Tube used source material and has a master’s degree. Where is your source material? Where’s your degree? Have you even read a book by a neoliberal philosophers like Friedrich Hayek, Ludwig von Mises, or Milton Friedman? Complete waste of time!

Could please define : government theft ?

I like how you grew a beard and started talking like an Englishman.

[Seouldrift]

No I think you can say Reagan was the last not Coolidge. Even if you don't agree with everything he did I think you can still say he was the last just keep in mind when look at his 2nd term he had to try to work with the house and senate who were on the other side of the coin.

Wait so you think charity is a viable replacement for welfare? you conveniently went over that so quickly lol

[tonykaze]

"debunked" is a bit generous.

I'd say I'd like to see a debate between the two of you but frankly you need to do some reading first.

[scruffy]

sorry, but i rather not be dependant on the charity of a rich bastard who got rich of my labor. but that's just me

Néolibéralisme come from the likes of Milton Friedman who was in the Chicago school of economic
