[Talk delivered at the conference “Человек vs. отчуждение” in Moscow (supported by the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation Moscow) by our editor Mihály Koltai.]
In my talk I would like to provide some observations and intuitions on what one might call the psychological basis of contemporary neoliberalism.

in the time remaining, to help us understand how the man-made system of capitalism will lead to the extinction of our human species, and so many others.
