Productivism also departs from the Keynesian welfare state by focusing less on redistribution, social transfers, and macroeconomic management and more on supply-side measures to create good jobs for everyone. And productivism diverges from both of its antecedents by reflecting greater skepticism toward technocrats and expressing less knee-jerk hostility to economic populism.
I don't love it. "Supply-side reform" has been a buzzword for the neoliberal consensus from Reagan to Johnson, and "skepticism toward technocrats" just sounds like Gove's "had enough of experts" wearing a new frock.

Found this article interesting, on how ‘productivisim’ might succeed neoliberalism. Figured I’d share.
