The NeoLiberal Round
by Renaldo Mckenzie
Life is about people/how people relate. Yet life is what we make it or allow others to make of it for us creating privileges. The Neoliberal Round is a think tank exploring life. We're interdisciplinary and dynamic; concerning ourselves with global issues and problems so as to serve the world today to solve tomorrow's challenges, by making popular what was the monopoly. We will be bold and deliberate in our reflections on truths, lifting up issues of ethics/human values. Visit The Neoliberal, https://theneoliberal.com.
