Neoliberalism sees competition as the de ning characteristic of human relations it rede nes citizens as consumers, whose democratic choices are best exercised by buying and selling. E orts to create a more equal society are both counterproductive and morally corrosive the market ensures that everyone gets what they deserve in a world governed by competition, those who fall behind become de ned and self de ned as losers. Massive tax cuts for the rich, the crushing of trade unions, deregulation, privatization, out sourcing and competition in public services. The pretense sold to a pervious generation capitalism was going to create the best of ls possible world - is completely absent. No: this is a system that generates a few big winners and holders of losers.
