Philip Mirowski

Philip Mirowski, the Carl Koch Chair of Economics at Notre Dame, dives into his book, highlighting how neoliberalism adapted after the financial crisis. He critiques economists for their denial of necessary reforms. Mirowski distinguishes between neoliberalism and neoclassical economics, framing it within a 'thought collective.' He contrasts Milton Friedman’s public engagement with George Stigler’s elite strategies. Additionally, he discusses market responses to crises and hints at his upcoming project on the history of the economics Nobel.
