It has been quite a while since I last wrote about neo-liberalism due to the focus on the 2016 Presidential election. I fully expected to continue this series shortly thereafter, but the current disarray in our government has taken the spotlight. It is weird because I have had a rough draft for this essay sitting in my draft folder for some time and it is quite often I am reminded as to how timely the issue addressed in this essay is.

With all the hullabaloo over the coming Presidential election, I have held off posting this essay while we seem mostly engaged in current events. In addition, this essay posed a struggle for me because economics is certainly not an area in which I have expertise like gjohnsit and others here, so the research was a little more tedious than usual. Hopefully readers here can help fill in the gaps where necessary and expand upon the information presented in this essay.

It has been over two weeks since I last posted an essay in this series on neo-liberalism. I was both hosting out of town company and traveling during that time. Recently I have experienced a number of technical problems on my end too. I hope to avoid any future time gaps of this length between essays.
