Psychologically it can be classified as an addiction, a pathological dependency linked to a narcissism without limits.”

Changing the Ideological Fabric? A Brief History of (Canadian) Neoliberalism“The problem of neoliberalism as the dominant policy discourse in Canada has less to do with mass persuasion and more to do with the erosion of democratic avenues for popular participation.”
