+ I think the author would put socialism square in his view of 'Eurocentric Modernism' as well.
+ Trump is the farthest thing from a neoliberal. He's a nationalist/protectionist, anti free trade.
I reject a lot of the author's claims about Adam Smith and 'narrow self interest'. Generally, people are concerned about their own well-being more than others, that's just a fact, it doesn't make us greedy. Knowing this, we can model human behaviour and markets etc. with some degree of rationality.
Adam Smith believed the #1 attribute of a CEO was 'benevolence' for gosh sakes :).
So much hardcore capitalist stuff is attributed to Smith, when really he was not. He was explaining how things work, not an ideologue.
