“Neoliberalism” may have been the primary economic ideology for elements of the U.S. corporatocracy, not for much of Europe and the rest of the globe. A mistake to lump in a Clinton administration largely bereft of power after anti-”Neoliberal” philosophies and acts with the supply side/anti regualtory philosophy and acts of the Reagan adminstration. Clinton paid a political price for raising taxes and increasing govt. regulation, not to mention proposing the large expansion of govt. power into the largest section of the U.S. economy, health care. The loss of the Congress forced him to play “small ball” for the last 6 years of his admin, to accommodate the rising Right to have any relevance at all. Had he been able to hold the Congress his actions would have looked very different.
