Scenarios about 'market liberalization'
Market liberalization refers to the process of reducing government restrictions on economic activity, particularly by promoting free trade, deregulating industries, and privatizing state-owned enterprises. This economic policy shift gained significant momentum in the late 20th century through the Washington Consensus and was implemented across numerous developing nations and post-communist states. In alternate history scenarios, different approaches to market liberalization often serve as critical divergence points that dramatically reshape national development trajectories and global economic power dynamics.
