How would you define modern right-wing economics, if not maximal deregulation, minimal taxation and reduction of the state by all means? |
I would reply there is nothing right wing about the largest tax burden of modern times, an enormous and growing public sector & civil service, and titanic debt and debt repayments. |  |

You don't need to state both of those, one is sufficient to sum it up.
Still waiting for a definition from Chico of what a right wing economic position is though, rather than a statement of what it is not. | |

His policy was to cut taxes on the rich and big corporations so the money would trickle down and all would benefit. There was a tiny flaw in the plan, as Captian Blackadder once said, "It was Bo****ks". [Post edited 13 Nov 2023 13:32]

Apart from the reference to a failure to stand up the EU, I would agree with this WhatsApp comment from someone on the right of the Tory party.

It's my impression of what right wingers do, and as we are dealing with a subjective description then you have the 'how', of course you could always attempt an objective definition... | |

If we're purely talking economics, where you sit on the right-left scale indicates how much you think the government should intervene in the economy and peoples lives in general.
High level of state involvement = lefty
Minimal = righty
Strangely some people seem to use it as shorthand for evil Vs compassionate. But this is nonsense. |  |

Re your last point, you’re right of course. People love to simplify complex problems. It’s a common affliction of the stupid. | |
