The Worldwide Class Struggle
by Vincent Navarro (sic)

This essay is dedicated to the memory of my good friends Paul Sweezy and
Harry Magdoff, who taught us an uncompromising critical evaluation of all
that exists, uncompromising in the sense that our criticism fears neither
its own results nor conflict with the powers that be.

Vincent Navarro is professor and director of the Public Policy Program of
the Johns Hopkins University, USA–Pompeu Fabra University, Spain.

 Neoliberalism as a Class Practice
A trademark of our times is the dominance of neoliberalism in the major
economic, political, and social forums of the developed capitalist
countries and in the international agencies they influence—including the
IMF, the World Bank, the WTO, and the technical agencies of the United
Nations such as the World Health Organization, Food and Agricultural
Organization, and UNICEF. Starting in the United States during the Carter
administration, neoliberalism expanded its influence through the Reagan
administration and, in the United Kingdom, the Thatcher administration, to
become an international ideology. Neoliberalism holds to a theory (though
not necessarily a practice) that posits the following:

The state (or what is wrongly referred to in popular parlance as “the
government”) needs to reduce its interventionism in economic and social
activities.

Labor and financial markets should be deregulated in order to liberate the
enormous creative energy of the markets.

Commerce and investments should be stimulated by eliminating borders and
barriers to allow for full mobility of labor, capital, goods, and services.
