The Dig: A History of Neoliberalism with Quinn Slobodian

<p>Neoliberalism: we all hate it, but what does it mean? Dan talks to intellectual historian Quinn Slobodian about his book <i>Globalists: The End of Empire and the Birth of Neoliberalism</i>, which tells the story of neoliberalism's Geneva School — including Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich Hayek, and Wilhelm Röpke — and their vision for a new imperial order establishing rules to protect the market from political interference. It's a movement that begins with nostalgia for the bygone Habsburg Empire, moves on to fights against the decolonized world's efforts to create a New International Economic Order, and plays a key role in forming the European Economic Community and the WTO.</p><p>Live Dig interview in NYC with Yanis Varoufakis on Challenging the New Right-Populism.
