Competitive markets and world trade brought more winners than losers. The problem is that nobody gave a shit about the losers. It easy for someone to say "suck it up buttercup, society benefits from  the technology, immigrants, and outsourcing taking your job!"when you're not the one being dragged to the alter.

Just curious Big. Why should Hayek's connection to neoliberalism be problematic?
