Atlas is a real neolib thinktank network, anyone can join. Membership has it's price though, bending over and selling out your country, shameless astroturfing, developing SCAS (Sudden Canadian Accent Syndrome) etc.It’s a convenient explanation to make sense of reality. My view is what happens is (more or less) a reflection of society’s wants. Neoliberalism is simply what society, as an average whole, wants right now
Thinking there is some malevolent hand pulling the strings is just an easy out. If you don’t like neoliberalism, you actually don’t like the average man on the street, in today’s society. That’s not particularly palatable, so it’s just more accepted to blame atlas / blackstone / whomever that embodies neoliberalism the most
