The Biden administration is realising this. The need of the hour, therefore, is to build a post-pandemic growth strategy centred on an increase in public investment and public spending.

The period of neo-liberalism witnesses an increase in the share of economic surplus in total output both in individual countries and also for the world as a whole. This is because the “opening” up of the economy to freer trade in goods and services leads to a rapid introduction of structural-cum-technological change, which, because of its labour-displacing character, keeps down the growth rate of employment, to even below the natural growth rate of the workforce.

The resulting increase in the relative size of the reserve army of labour restrains the level of real wages everywhere, even as labour productivity grows massively, causing a rise in the share of economic surplus.

Such a shift from wages to surplus, depresses the level of consumption demand, and hence aggregate demand, and causes a tendency toward an over-production crisis. Since fiscal conservatism at the insistence of finance capital, prevents any offsetting of this tendency through State spending, the only possible counter to it within a neo-liberal economy, is provided by asset price bubbles that also have the effect of boosting demand. But even if such a bubble perchance gets generated, that keeps at bay the over-production crisis for a while, its collapse again pushes the economy into a crisis.
