Summary

We spend a while looking over the economic dimensions of - whatever you want to call it - Starmerism, Bidenism, Levelling Up - a version of neoliberalism that realised, very suddenly and entirely too late, that it does actually matter quite a bit if your economy produces certain things. What kind of world does this look like? Let’s explore the contours of Productivism/Permanent Wartime Neoliberalism together, and what it looks like when dedicated Neoliberals try to do something different (embarrassing failure). NOTE ON CONTENT: Since this episode was recorded, the Starmer team has declared that the Green Prosperity Plan - the focus of this episode - would be postponed (before even being implemented) from £28bn per year for five years… to £28bn a year for three years, starting after the second year of a Labour government. Embarrassing failure prediction comes true quicker than usual. *STREAM ALERT* Check out our Twitch stream, which airs 9-11 pm UK time every Monday and Thursday, at the following link: https://www.twitch.tv/trashfuturepodcast *WEB DESIGN ALERT* Tom Allen is a friend of the show (and the designer behind our website).
