Is this true? I'd say no. In fact it is exactly wrong.
The neoliberal ascendancy of the past 3 decades has actually
coincided with the greatest episode of poverty reduction ever in
world history
The past three decades has seen an increase in world population of
more than two billion. Most of those are impoverished. More people
than ever before live in poverty. Playing with the weasel-word
"extreme" or playing with guesstimated percentages won't work.
Neoliberalism already is a disaster, and (via global warming) has put
the human race on the brink of total catastrophe.
