From This Changes Everything by Naomi Klein, pg 72:
Indeed the three policy pillars of the neoliberal age—privatization of the public sphere, deregulation of the corporate sector, and the lowering of income and corporate taxes, paid for with cuts to public spending—are each incompatible with many of the actions we must take to bring our emissions to safe levels.
Klein offed a fascinating suggestion of a grand narrative that could have been, as an unprecedented upsurge of climate awareness & political cooperation in 1989 was swamped by the ‘end of history’ and the building of this ideological wall.
