I
have
visited
this
twice
.
It
is
certainly
a
very
interesting
place
to
visit
.It
is
explained
how
neo-liberalism
came
about
as
a
reaction
to
the
reforms
in
capitalist
countries
in
the
1960s
as
well
as
increasing
working
class
militancy
and
the
rise
of
new
movements
.
In
my
humble
opinion
the
museum
vastly
overstates
the
reforms
in
capitalist
countries
and
their
effects
.
Nevertheless
it
is
a
fact
that
the
bosses
of
the
big
monopolies
perceived
their
power
and
privileges
to
be
under
threat
and
sought
to
reverse
and
rollback
any
concessions
.
It
is
rightly
pointed
out
by
the
museum
that
markets
are
something
that
do
not
exist
on
their
own
,
they
are
creations
of
man
and
something
that
is
brought
into
existence
by
force
.
This
punctures
the
mythology
of
bourgeois
and
neo-liberal
thinking
that
tries
to
assert
that
the
market
is
like
a
force
of
nature
or
even
some
kind
of
god
.
The
deeply
exploitative
nature
of
capitalism
is
exposed
in
the
Museum
.
One
of
the
exhibits
is
a
bottle
of
Amazon
workers
urine
which
is
a
part
of
a
whole
section
on
Amazon
which
in
the
last
few
decades
has
emerged
as
a
powerful
international
monopoly
enslaving
its
workers
and
ripping
off
consumers.
However
I
think
the
Museum
went
too
far
by
including
Deng
Xiaoping
in
the
rogues
gallery
of
neo-liberals
,
although
of
course
'
reform
'
and
'opening
up'
in
China
may
be
construed
as
an
ideological
retreat
.
Surely
Gorbachov
and
Yeltsin
should
be
listed
as
neo
-liberals
as
they
wrecked
a
socialist
country
and
brought
about
mass
unemployment
,poverty
and
destitution
.
Similarly
the
museum
is
critical
of
Brexit
but
isn't
the
EU
itself
a
neo-liberal
institution
and
pro
market
?
