To add, the idea that there tariffs in any way reflect neoliberal orthodoxy is bizarre as well. They are the antithesis for neoliberal free trade economics.


And where was that said?


> America is a one-party state. That party is neoliberalism. On economics and foreign policy there's almost no daylight between the major parties in the US and really foreign policy is economics.

There.


So you actually just ignored the rest of the comment talking about how the tariffs were a departure from the economic order?


It says following:

It does not say it is not neoliberalism. Just that it is tactical mistake related to culture war.
