Episode notes

The geneva school ne liberals did not fetishize economics, but rather dethroned it in favor of an insistence that the workings of the market could be neither known nor managed. The main vehicle for the neo liberal project is international agreements on trade and investment. With complete integration, sovereignty moves to the higher level.

Featuring Quinn Slobodian on his book Globalists: The End of Empire and the Birth of Neoliberalism. The story of neoliberalism’s Geneva School—including Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich Hayek, and Wilhelm Röpke—and their vision for a new global order to protect the market from democratic forces in the metropole and across the decolonizing world. An interview from archives first conducted in November 2018.
