Very good article about the 'neoliberal revolution', its uptake in different countries, and its effects in different countries

http://www.econlib.org/library/Columns/y2010/Sumnerneoliberalism.html

It especially debunks some arguments that had worried me, such as the alleged disaster in Eastern Europe

>Neoliberal

I generally don't read (and try not to even look at) anything that uses this term as it almost exclusively falls on /leftypol/ territory.

Yeah, we could tell that from your flag.

But the term refers to a real thing, which is the decrease in government controls and government ownership since about the 70s.

There's no point in reading cucumber-in-Assism just because it "challenges my opinions" when Cucumber-in-Assism is retarded from the start. You don't have to read everything to realize it's shit, anon. That's a theory by the way on time preference and how we utilize our time. I value this time more for shitposting and studying than I do for reading about some crap that likely came straight outta some faggot's ass.

You're making a fool of yourself. The article is not leftist.

Alright, I'm reading it. I already disagree with the methodology, though. Empirical methodologies in the social sciences don't work, or not reliably. At the end of the day, because of the sheer amount of variables and the fact that history is non-repeatable (unlike proper experiments), an empirical study that isn't crap will always resort to a priori reasoning. This is done by trimming down the relevant variables and picking your statistics according to what you find likely, and then you build a pseudo-empirical case around it.

The article isn't /leftypol/ at all you damn mongrel, it talked (among other things) about how de-regulization of government leads to era's of prosperity and gives various periods of America as one of its prime examples.
