Episode notes

The question of sovereignty was dealt with within their own terms. Populations elect, nations ar representative governments. Those representative governments sign certain agreements that bind them at a supernational level. Therefore, sovereignty has been exercised. Sovereignty is present at all levels. There isn't a sovereignty problem. It's been an orderly transference of sovereignty. But the problem of legitimacy, how do you keep people buying into this system in the down turn? Is something that kaines was aware of, and i think that the new liberals simply were not.

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.
