Episode notes

There is a kind of swiss fantasy at work here. It seems to me that's what is being hoped for. One can profit from certain connections, but still remain a relatively autonymous and policy terms. I mean, you know, the best traditions of the left are to sort of think through inclusion and think of new categories and repertoires with which political imagination can remain as lik supple and open to absorbing new people. And there's nothing of that to me in what i've been reading from the people leading this movement.

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.
