cameron: there's neoliberalism in the textbooks and then there's actually existing neoliberalism. There's no way big business (or dare I say it, 'capital') would allow the state to get *too* small because they depend on the state for their own existence. One example is the bailout of the banks - where would they be without the generosity of the state? Where would business be without massive amounts the state spends on research for 'defence' (the military-industrial complex)? Capital is happy for normal people to be subject to the principles in economic textbooks, but it sure isn't going to stop demanding the redestribution of wealth from everyone else to the very rich - because its very existence depends on it.
