Neoliberalism survived 2008 by becoming an unrecognized everyday worldview

Evidence

In writing the history, many local conjunctures must be acknowledged, but none of them really get at the Intellectual Teflon: the way the crisis did not provoke any fundamental revision of prior political catechism. The most likely reason the doctrine that precipitated the crisis has evaded responsibility and the renunciation indefinitely postponed is that neoliberalism as worldview has sunk its roots deep into everyday life, almost to the point of passing as the “ideology of no ideology.” — Philip Mirowski, Never Let a Serious Crisis Go to Waste, 76
