Supreme Court Versus Trump over Neoliberalism 2.0

Created Tuesday 07 October 2025

The United States Supreme Court just demonstrated its neoliberal bent, when it ruled that Trump could not sack a Federal Reserve official while ignoring the plight of other government employees.

Respecting central bank independence is/was an
important tenet of neoliberalism, designed to limit democratic interference in setting economic policy.

But will the court be able hold firm against the populist leanings of Trump as it starts its new term in October.
