Financial meltdown, environmental disaster and even the rise of Donald Trump – neoliberalism has played its part in them all. Why has the left failed to come up with an alternative?

Because the left has been overrun by enclaved entitled middle-class intellectuals, kind of like the communist party in England in the 20s. I can't imagine the left doing anything real until someone of Trump's ilk getting into power and exposing the greater majority of people to his brand of facism. (read my own blog re the 60's and now) - if the left, for example, ACTUALLY occupied Wall Street and shut it down rather than "sitting in a park near a Starbucks with EMS Camping Gear and our Apple products" passing for a confrontation... -- sheesh-- when i took over a building with my friends, that's what we did--and we got results--at a cost at times, but results.
