The Tories really do believe that by pumping money into schemes and infrastructure across society, that the investment encourages an uplift in commercial and capitalist activity that will benefit the poor – because that’s what Neoliberal scholars tell them it will do.
‘Smaller Government’ or what is in fact much less government or what is interpreted as the reduction of the restrictions that prevent so-called wealth creators from creating wealth are the fundamental basis of what Neoliberal thinking is about.
It all comes under the guise that free markets and free flowing money look after the public interest when they are left unhindered by the state.
