Just a footnote. Why "neoliberal capitalism" rather than "capitalism"?
The relations which you trace in this post first appeared in Elizabethan
England in the form of the "Poor Laws." Some form of such "social
welfare" is inherent in capitalism as such, regardless of what sort of
qualfiers may be attached to it. The insertion of "neoliberal" here I
think blurs the argument.
I do think it very important to emphasize the "dependence" we all have
on each other -- hence, for example, the long quarrel Yoshie & I had
with several posters who thought "dependence" was inherently "bad."
