Questions neoliberals can't answer
By Sam Tomlin
I thought of a fun game: questions neoliberals can't answer (or at least don't want to):
1. How much is enough?
2. Where is the finish line for the 'economic global race'?
3. Why when we have created *so* much wealth, is there still *so* much poverty?
4. What is greed?
5. If we're 'all in this together', why has the number of billionaires doubled since the financial crisis?
6. Why do profits always seem to be privatised and risk/losses socialised?
7. If the goal of social mobility is for everyone to be middle class, who will do the jobs no one wants to do if this is actually achieved?
8. Why did the Big Society fail?
9. Why is there such a loneliness epidemic in society?
10. What is the point of economic growth?
Play along if you can think of any!
