Interesting blog, I like the way you present your ideas and research, with PPTs and diagrams. It makes the whole information sharing process much more visual, enjoyable and to the point. Good job! One idea to improve your blog would be to use alternative sources of information so that there can be a dialogue between neoliberalists and socialists (I’m sure there are neoliberalists out there arguing and eventually proving that the outcome of their policies is better than the outcome of the socialist agendas). At least the reader could get the whole picture and analyze the reality from a different point of view.
