One of the weirdest contradictions of the neoliberal era is that the past 15 years have seen an unprecedented expansion of state power and authority. The state continues to intermediate 45% of EU GDP and a third of Japanese GDP, the East Asian developmental states continue to flourish, and a fresh crop of developmental states in Venezuela, Vietnam and Russia are about to reach escape velocity.
