This report on the convening “Beyond Neoliberalism and Neo-illiberalism: Economic Policies and Performance for Sustaining Democracy”, held on March 27th and 28th at The New School, features an informative and wide-ranging discussion on a number of basic questions on the relation between democracy and economy. The political backlash from neoliberalism has mainly been a retreat from democracy. Its main features are the decline in independence of the judiciary and the monetary authorities, suppression or control of the media, and of course direct manipulation of election rules for purposes of authoritarian control.
