I understand what you are saying but I think Neoliberalism was a corporate policy conceived at the time of Roosevelt’s New Deal. If you plot the maximum tax rate over time you will see a decline from the 91% of Roosevelt to the tax rates implement by Reagan and Bush junior. Neoliberalism was created as a deception and was a strategy of wealth extraction from the population. In the 1970s you may remember the Lima Resolution. Under GATT, this was sold to the masses as a strategy to improve the quality of life in the third world. National governments planned to reduce domestic manufacturing and transfer the manufacturing to less fortunate nations. It was sold to the masses as an exercise in human rights but was actually a transfer of labor to nations with lower labor costs. Globalism was one of the mechanisms that the corporate world used to achieve this goal. As we moved into the time of Reagan and Thatcher, the Neoliberals utilized the Trickle Down economic strategy. The corporatists actually expected the masses to believe that if all the wealth was pushed to the top, it would trickle down and benefit all. Reagan, Don Regan, and the Oligarchs must still be laughing in their grave over that one. We are now in the last stages of the Neoliberal wealth transfer. Wall Street legislation (e.g. Glass Steagall) was removed by Clinton and this allowed the financial sector to shift most of the risk to the masses. We all know how that worked out. In the final stages we are watching asset price bubbles created by the private Federal Reserve, enrich only the Oligarchs. This is only a brief skeletal analysis of Neoliberalism and many important parts of the corporate have been neglected, but it should give some idea of the sequence of the deception to date. What amazes me is why more don’t understand how they are getting screwed. They will probably wake up when the monetary inflation transitions into price inflation and they then realize that their wealth or purchasing power has been stolen. By then, the corporatists should be well into the last stages of the imperial expansion phase and all will be using the last of the US taxpayer's wealth paying for the military budget to plunder foreign nations. You cannot blame the masses for their ignorance in this deception; the corporatists own the media, they own all branches of government, and what they don't own, they will soon acquire. Corporatists have now decimated the union movement and have destroyed any political influence the masses ever possessed. Not a pretty sight, but then again, the outcome of ignorance never is.

It's uplifting to see your enthusiasm in researching the origins, evolution and future possible permutations of Neoliberalism and how the corporate infiltrated government is now aiding the corporate sector to transform a dysfunctional democracy into a corporate fascist serfdom. What really concerns me is this Neoliberal philosophy is now encircling the globe. The only nations still partially free of Neoliberalism are the BRICS nations. Even they are now under attack from Washington. The last time Washington overthrew an elected Brazilian government was 1964 and they are in the process of repeating the exercise by supporting the current corrupt opposition. If Washington ever manages to destroy the BRICS attempt to create their own replacements for the IMF and World Bank, there will be no place to run on Earth to escape fascist corporate Neoliberal control. If you are interested in looking at the origins of fascist corporate control (Neoliberalism), might you allow me to suggest "War is a Racket" by General Smedley Butler. The book is available but it is also on a YouTube Video. You may find the honesty of this soldier astounding. You may also wish to follow the work of Kevin Kruse who wrote "One Nation Under God, How Corporate America Created Christian America". You can either read Kruse's book or there are some comprehensive videos available on YouTube. This book specifically shows how corporate America using the work of Edward Bernays (nephew of Sigmund Freud and wrote the book Propaganda) and corporate America set out to deceive Main Street by conflating corporatism and Christianity. Again, this book is far too comprehensive in the subversive and traitorous techniques used to manipulate the population and undermine democracy and independent thought by the criminals in Wall Street and the City of London to do it justice here. May I wish you the best of Luck in your future research and understanding. And don't forget to teach others who are interested in learning the structure of corporate control, Neoliberalism, and how they are getting screwed.

Doing something about it! Well that's the difficulty. The idea of any future revolution has been removed with police militarization, arming most government departments and terrorist legislation. Even civil disobedience will soon be met universally with corporate state aggression just as the Occupation movement at Wall Street was removed. The corporate governments have been engineering this for much longer than I have been researching. What remains is education and then hope that eventually the electoral system will allow change. We see fragments of discontent and its effects around the world at the same time as we see the sterilization of democracies. We see the usual two party monopolies being exposed as a structure of the Oligarchs and people are looking for alternatives. Here I like to paraphrase George Carlin; bipartisan usually means that the population is getting screwed. Any significant change will not happen overnight but if momentum is maintained, it should make a difference in the long term. Remember, those behind Neoliberalism work on a trans-generational timescale. Any effective response must originate from education. So as your understand more, convey it to people who are asking questions. If the voting majority is politically aware, knows all the facts and continues to follow the current path of Neoliberalism, there is little anyone can do. I doubt that this will happen. Educating those that question will work until the establishment compromises the independence and freedom of the internet and leaves only the propaganda mainstream media whose main function is to deceive and distort the facts.

Any form of open rebellion will be met with severe state aggression. Why would the state militarize the police, arm most government departments, purchase 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition (mostly hollow point) if they didn’t see conflict around the corner. You must know that anti-terrorist strategies have been implemented for just such an act of rebellion and it suppression. Have you ever researched Obama’s speech on a Civil Security Force that is just as powerful and just as well funded as the US military? The speech is on YouTube. It appears that this speech went unquestioned. Why would such a vast domestic civilian security force be needed? It is sad when those who are even now ignorant of the genesis of this entity would be in denial of its intent. Consider the shooting of students during the Vietnam War, the attack on the WW1 veterans that were trying to get what they were owed, or the corporate state aggression using the Pinkerton Detective Agency killing strikers and their families in the late 1800s. Remember, the corporate state will always deceive the majority on the reason for aggression against a minority but one must wonder about the actions of the corporate state when the majority is the target.
