Introduction
Debating the merits of naming or not naming neoliberalism is not new. But naming ‘neoliberalism then’ involved debating the term itself; not just, that is, whether or not it was an appropriate term to describe the then and there, but whether there even was such a thing as neoliberalism. In these post-2008 days, even the IMF has belatedly acknowledged that we were neoliberal then (Ostry et al. 2016). Naming ‘neoliberalism now’ is more about whether we’re still living in neoliberal times: with the rise of neo-fascism, white supremacy and the so-called alt-right throughout liberal democracies, with the rise of so-called populist political parties breaking the monopoly of the centrist political establishment, and with the rise of so-called fake news supposedly undermining the no longer trusted, liberal public sphere, are we still neoliberal now, or are we living in post-neoliberal times? Of course, from the state terrorism and crimes against humanity of the Pinochet government in 1970s Chile, to the violent police clampdown on the ‘Yellow Vests’ protests against Macron’s fiscal policies
