"Despite the generally strong support for democracy, there was an equally strong desire for radical change, with more people in most countries thinking the system was rigged in favour of the rich and powerful rather than working for everyone."
What? Do ordinary mortals think the neoliberal cosnsenus has failed us? How can this be? Look at all the wonderful things the billionaires have developed for us!

Labour unions under neoliberal authoritarianism in the Global South: the cases of Turkey and Egypt
This article analyses the trajectories of organised labour in times of neoliberalism in Turkey and Egypt and their current condition under securitised neoliberal-developmentalist regimes post-2013. Neoliberal experience in these countries was marked by continuing authoritarianism, challenging the view that economic liberalisation would lead to political democratisation. One of the most important areas of neoliberal restructuring has been labour markets. In order to achieve this, struggles over …

Quasi wie wenn McDonald’s den Vorsitz im Ernährungsrat übernimmt. Immerhin: Man spart Wege, wenn Regulierung und Lobby gleich im selben Büro sitzen, @…

Vereinnahmung: US-Big-Tech reguliert sich jetzt offiziell selbst
Zuckerbergs Chef-Lobbyistin wird die Leiterin der irischen Datenschutzbehörde. Als wäre das nicht pikant genug: Aus Niamh Sweeneys Zeit ist der Konzern in zwei Datenschutzverfahren verwickelt, die über 1,5 Mrd. US-$ teuer werden könnten. Doch jetzt ist die Verteidigerin für die Anklage zuständig. Ein Lehrstück für Regulierungsvereinnahmung, das zeigt, wie neoliberale Politik die Digitalwirtschaft in eine "post-demokratische Zone" verwandelt hat.
