the link to the LSE blog about leaving the EU being a way to escape its Neo liberal approach. I said it was fanciful as the UK is the most neo liberal of all states, and that Brexit was being led by the arch neo liberals.
My understanding of the LSE article is that, with the EU, neoliberalism went supersized - that's the whole point of it. Everything that defines the neoliberal agenda - austerity, globalisation, uncontrolled immigration, and all the rest of it, is applicable to the EU and beyond, just in a bigger way. The reversal towards nation states via Brexit (and Trump) is an attempt to contain this particular form of capitalism within different, smaller borders. I think that the author makes the argument very clearly that supporting the EU is supporting more, not less, neoliberalism. He's asking readers to re-define geo-political entities such as the nation state or region to show how neoliberalism can function within a small entity (nation state) or a large entity (the EU).
