Is Neoliberalism Dead? Life and Metamorphoses of the Doctrine that Shaped the Contemporary World

In February 2025, Elon Musk and Argentine President Javier Milei symbolize a potential shift in neoliberalism by advocating for drastic cuts to public spending. This moment raises questions about the future of neoliberalism, with debates emerging across various political spectrums. Scholars like Arnaud Orain and Wolfgang Streeck argue that neoliberalism is either ending or reaching its limits, while others, such as Jean-Luc Gréau and Antoine Foucher, highlight the unsustainable grip of neoliberal policies. The rise of populism is seen as a direct consequence of neoliberalism's weakening of state intervention, leading to a crisis in democracy.
