It’s doing fine. There are many free trade deals in the works around the world, the WTO is still chugging along as normal.
I’d actually say the idea of minimal government control over the economy is still the majority opinion in the US, Biden’s Child Tax Credits are tax cuts, Trump had tax cuts. UBI which has been growing in popularity on the Left is really a neoliberal solution to welfare.

Hell, James Carville is still running around DC saying the same stuff.
Neoliberalism is alive and well, and that’s the problem.
