Thanks for the dump, OP. Some gr8 shit here, but some of it's a bit odd, I'm not going to lie.

I actually started reading David Harvey's A Brief History of Neoliberalism before you posted this. Spooky. I read it for the hard-ish facts, not the author. Dear god.
His Marxist bias is shoved down your throat at every moment he can though. He says that class power "returns" under neoliberalism but then says that new people entered that "upper class" and began to replace the old "upper class," thus meaning it's not a fucking class. His self-defeating points and ambiguous assertions - "environmental justice," as if trees can sue - are aggravating beyond belief.
He also seems to conveniently ignore the fact that Hayek and Friedman, his mortal enemies, called for smaller government to prevent interest groups from abusing a large government's powers. He thinks that corruption is a feature, not a bug, but I'd bet he'd insist that mass executions in socialism were a bug and not a feature. He wants his cake and to eat it too. I might actually not finish the book, it's annoying.
