Last but not least, paradigmatic fundamentalism seems to be on the retreat; people, both in policy-making circles and in academia, realise that intellectual bigotry is not of much help in the real world, that market economies need effective regulations (a fact which was amply proved by financial, energy markets and corporate scandals), that governments have a role to play in economic life when it comes to providing public goods -- including effective regulations.
Konačno, fundamentalizam neoliberalnog obrasca je, čini se, u povlačenju; i političari i stručnjaci shvataju da intelektualni fanatizam u stvarnom svetu nije od velike pomoći i da je tržišnim ekonomijamŕ potrebna delotvorna regulativa (činjenica koju su više nego dovoljno dokazali finansijski, korporativni i skandali na tržištima energije), kao i da države moraju da igraju ulogu u ekonomskom životu kada je reč o snadbevanju javnim dobrima -- u kojŕ spadaju i efikasni zakoni i propisi.
