    Ok, I find this very bizarre. You lament that neoliberal economics is bad but should not be considered disadvantaged?

      I guess we are reading the word “disadvantage” slightly differently. You, I suspect, use it purely descriptively. I am interpreting it normatively (disadvantage viz. the proper rules). I am not pushing back on the descriptive bit. I am pushing back on what I consider to be normative baggage smuggled in by the framing. Aka maybe I’m reading too much in a word.
