Why would we want to turn the clock back?

There's something hilariously ironic about a post starting with this sentence and then advocating antiquated economics like nationalization.

what makes it "antiquated"?  is it because it hasn't been done in the Global North since Thatcher/Reagan?

Do you have another word for a technique discarded for over a third of a century that isn't antiquated?

EDIT: Perhaps "Old-school" or "retro" would work. Get your bell bottoms and disco gear back, nationalization has returned.

sorry for the late reply here.  would you consider there to be a difference between 'antiquated' and 'obsolete' in this instance?
