Is neo-liberal capitalism irreversible?

To emerge from neo-liberal capitalism, OECD countries would have to: Restore the wage share of GDP; Onshore production from emerging countries to OECD countries; Reduce the demand for return on equity for shareholders. These developments would lead to a sharp rise in inflation, and therefore in interest rates, and a sharp decline in corporate profitability, probably leading to a financial crisis due to a loss of borrower solvency and a debt crisis, falling share prices and real estate prices. It must be understood that neo-liberal capitalism is the cause of the high debt ratios and the high asset prices. In order to get out of neo-liberal capitalism, one would therefore have to accept the risk of a financial crisis, which leads us towards this idea of that neo-liberal capitalism is irreversible , or at least that the initial cost of getting out of this form of capitalism is high , of which we must be aware.
