Critics challenge fiscal rules over economic wellbeing

Original: Neoliberal lies debunked: “ # Economic policy should be judged by # employment , # investment , public # services , # in

Economic commentators are pushing back against neoliberal arguments that fiscal policy should be judged mainly by a government's adherence to fiscal rules and forecasts. They argue policy should instead be measured by employment, investment, public services, inflation, sustainability and people's wellbeing. The critique reflects ongoing debate about whether self-imposed budget rules constrain better economic outcomes.

Why now: Ongoing debate over fiscal rules and how economic success should be measured has renewed criticism of neoliberal framing.
