@William27302753 Thanks for reminding to pull this up on Spotify.

@KateBolger22 Nice😎

@AustinB190 I'm not saying that the unipolar world of the 90s and 2000s isn't over, but I think that the evidence that you cite isn't up to the task. What are some other things that might point to the end of U.S. hegemony?

[Ian Pettus @ian_pettus]

@AustinB190 I will agree that China's economy is growing, but this growth is highly dependent on the stability of international markets, and we've seen how fragile those are thanks to the pandemic.

[Ian Pettus @ian_pettus]

@AustinB190 Hmmm, I'm going to push back on this. Until Covid hit, crime was in steady decline--nowhere near the bad old days of the 70s and 80s. Economic inequality in the United States is high, but the poverty rate isn't particularly exceptional.

@Rileykhudson7 TBH, Neoliberalism is a term that I have difficulty concretely defining as well. It sounds like you got the gist, though :).

[Ian Pettus @ian_pettus]

@Rileykhudson7 Why did this quote catch your attention?

[Ian Pettus @ian_pettus]

@elliehundley Why do you suppose Feedia's music is so popular in New Orleans but struggles to take root elsewhere?

[Ian Pettus @ian_pettus]

@DylanBr28544609 Can you define the term "neoliberalism" in your own words?

[Ian Pettus @ian_pettus]

@BlueHeron3812 What does the term "politics of daily life" mean to you?

[Ian Pettus @ian_pettus]

@auwhistledown Ok, so what about this quote caught your attention? What does it mean?

[Ian Pettus @ian_pettus]

@StallionCherry Not quite. According to Harvey, the rise of the neoliberal project led to the suppression of global labor.

[Ian Pettus @ian_pettus]

@Aubreyblomeley Why did this specifically catch your attention?

[Ian Pettus @ian_pettus]

@AustinB190 What do you suppose has happened to decrease our global influence?

[Ian Pettus @ian_pettus]

@GarlandHelms_ I think idea is that neoliberalism is not limited to a specific country but is a global order that controls the flow of capital throughout the world.

[Ian Pettus @ian_pettus]

@William27302753 I think the criticism is that capitalism is corrupt to its core and can't be saved. It sounds like you disagree with that. If you were king of the world for a day, what would you change?

[Ian Pettus @ian_pettus]

@Carohollings10 What specific "stuff" did it make you think about?

[Ian Pettus @ian_pettus]

@elliehundley You find it interesting. Do you find it convincing? Why or why not?
