Neoliberalism is in retreat. Viktor Shvets blames the boomers – but it’s not that simple
In The Twilight Before the Storm, global strategist Viktor Shvets charts the shift from the fractured 1930s to today’s crisis culture.
Viktor Shvets, a global strategist, explores the concept of neoliberalism in his book, The Twilight Before the Storm. The author compares our current situation to the one following the New York World's Fair in 1939, a period filled with optimism for the future that was soon overshadowed by looming war. Shvets highlights the economic prosperity of the 1990s and early 2000s, which is now a distant memory, replaced by wars and economic instability.
He identifies the end of neoliberalism as occurring during the 2008 global financial crisis, noting that the decline of neoliberalism occurred regardless of the contributions made by those who supported it, such as Thatcher and Reagan.
