The 2009 crisis was averted just enough to not change the underlying logic of neoliberalism
idk that the underlying logic changed, but they definitely didn't waste that crisis in bringing back unlimited money for robber barons, and that difference isn't insignificant. without 09 I doubt we get uber, wework, etc.
Yeah, it only seems "obvious" in hindsight now. Like, given how hard neoliberalism pushes to eliminate unionization and crush any level of worker privileges... they'd have to bring back the 30s work line (where you'd be unemployed standing in a line at a factory and when someone died from the unsafe work they'd just pull someone else from the line) but in the 21st century it would have to be dressed up as a fun little app with bright colors and the fisher price aesthetic of adult lives.
