Proponents of alternatives must rise up. They are not in short supply; they are even in high demand. #History is an illuminating projector towards the future. Understanding #politicaleconomy, which is essentially a historical science, is a powerful tool to confront neoliberal politics backed by neoliberal #economics. https://economicsociology.org/2014/10/09/how-historians-have-ceded-authority-to-economists-as-reliable-and-competent-policy-advisors/ #neoliberalism #policyTags
