Chapter 1067: Chapter 120: Has the Wild Experiment of Neoliberalism Succeeded?_3

“Oh, so soon, alright.” Wolf knew Shanhaiguan, his research into the background of CEO Cheng was almost to the point of combing through the information with a fine-tooth comb.

But as a result, Wolf didn’t believe a word of those publicly available details.

The stories were such nonsense, if he believed even a single word, he’d be a fool!

God knows, CEO Cheng hadn’t deliberately hidden anything.

The legendary status had nothing to do with time; his rise to today was purely due to circumstances and a bit of boldness.

“Ladies and gentlemen, today’s topic is exploring the feasibility of low-cost terrorist attacks in the post-modern information age. This is a study our team conducted immediately after the Nigerian ambassador was attacked by terrorists.

Due to time constraints, I didn’t even have time to make a PPT before attending the report.

Here, I must thank Deputy Dean Magnus for his support. He made me realize the importance of such research on changes in security environments and risk factors for you generous gentlemen, oh, and ladies.

Thank you, Mr. Magnus.”

This wasn’t a thank you to Magnus, but putting him on the hot seat.

Magnus shifted uncomfortably in his seat — Damn it, saying it once would have sufficed!

Temir was lost in thought.

Wolf remained expressionless.

CEO Cheng could only rub his forehead with a wry smile.

What a mess.

Other Reincarnators were making waves and achieving great feats.

He himself had painstakingly built a small organization, and before it even developed, infighting started from the top all the way to the bottom, and everyone, damn it, was up to no good.

Enough!

“…Based on the above changes, it makes low-cost attacks feasible in this incredibly information-rich era.

For example, take a look at this chart I designed.

Assuming: finding a willing potential terrorist requires a deposit of one hundred thousand dollars, and it takes ten tries to find a real fool willing to take the money and act.

Thus, the organizer’s cost is only one million dollars.

In underdeveloped regions, the high unemployment rate causes numerous adult males to be jobless, naturally making them the best ‘human resource pool.’

…Internet coverage makes this mutual filtering matching model feasible.

Gentlemen, the theoretical unemployment rate in America isn’t high, but considering unreported areas and statistical algorithms, this model is actually feasible in America.

The terrorists who attacked the Nigerian ambassador came from Southern SD’s tribal forces, and their training level was even relatively insufficient, or rather, Africa’s overall gun ownership rate is not as high as America’s.

Based on the factors above, Mr. Magnus recognized the necessity of this research.

However, the progress of the project has just begun. Today’s report can at most be considered a summary. In the future, as more information about the Nigerian ambassador’s assassination is disclosed, I will continue to follow up.”

The professor looked expectantly at the audience, full of pride.

I worked overnight with my team to produce the latest research, isn’t it impressive?

So…

Money!

Give money!

Add funds to my research, okay?

“Professor Bas, which university did you just say you were from?”

CEO Cheng asked.

“Bas, Assistant Professor of Communication at the University of Southern California (USC), at your service.”

This professor was just too sycophantic, and had there been wine, he probably would’ve downed a couple of glasses to show his sincerity.

“Your research is valuable, and we will give you an opportunity to step onto a bigger stage after evaluation, Professor Bas.”

These words were brutally honest from CEO Cheng.

Professor Bas cheerfully stepped down, and the second presenter from Joel Research Institute took the stage today.

Given the ironclad work ethic of Bas, burning the midnight oil should logically put pressure on the second presenter to follow.

But instead of feeling pressured, this one appeared quite composed.

“Good afternoon, everyone. Safety is important, but development is even more crucial.

Security ensures you are more composed in the face of risk, but in the fierce post-modern competition, only by developing a more competitive edge can the fundamental basis of your security be improved.

The project I am reporting today is based on the special project funding plan for new economic model research by the American National Humanities Foundation, which has led to new derivative topics.

The topic is ‘Neoliberalism—A Wild Experiment Revived in Death.’

The neoliberal wave of the 80s and 90s was inevitable; as the SDL model collapsed, Keynesianism was powerless, and Roosevelt’s New Deal became a burden, economic vitality was dangerously close to a point of no return.

Therefore, I believe neoliberalism was a resurrection from death from the very beginning!

This extends into three questions.

First, why did our elite bureaucratic government governance reach a dead end at the turn of the century?

Second, why was government-led leftist economic policy unsustainable?

Third, did the wild experiment of neoliberalism succeed?

Let’s start by answering the first question…”
