How Neoliberalism Frames Society
- Neoliberalism frames society as atomized individuals maximizing private gain and treats growth as the primary social goal.
- That paradigm ties individuals, markets, and growth together and limits acceptable policy tools to market solutions.
Mutualism Over Pure Growth
- People define themselves through multiple group identities so policy must account for mutual success, not just individual maximization.
- Growth alone is normatively insufficient; distribution and real opportunity matter too.
Paradigms Rise, Then Realign Politics
- Paradigms rise and fall as organizing explanations; neoliberalism is collapsing but hasn't yet been replaced.
- People abandon failing institutions and search for new frameworks, producing realignment and political drift.
