Neoliberal Thought and Social Justice
This chapter examines the foundational arguments of neoliberalism, particularly how appeals to nature and science have been employed to challenge socialist ideals and social welfare.

The narrative further explores the development of fusionism within right-wing ideologies, and how scientific authority has been wielded in political discourse against socialist movements.
