Episode notes

Keywords for capitalism is a probing and inciteful guide designed to equip readers with the tools to understand the evasions, neologisms and half truths that crowd the discourse. John patrick leary carefully leads readers through the very real debates about words that really do mean something. He attentively distinguishes the substance worth preserving from the froth that should be dismissed. As gregg grandon puts it, john patrick lary is our most valuable lexicographer of capitalism.

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.
