AGI Could Vindicate Neoliberalism

If a true artificial general intelligence triggers a massive, robotics‑led expansion of industrial capacity, the decades often criticized as 'deindustrialization' (financialization, offshoring) may be reframed as the capital‑building phase that enabled a later reindustrialization. That reinterpretation would turn a common political critique on its head and affect debates over regulation, redistribution, and industrial policy. — This reframing would change how political coalitions justify past economic choices and how future industrial and social policy is debated — shifting blame narratives and policy prescriptions.
