Episode notes

I think that the reality of globalization is an ever denser thicket of legal instruments to push trade and investment and migration in one way or another. And what i was trying to describe in the book is the kind of normative logic at the heart of the people who are thinking through the way that they want the global economy to be regulated. So this pushes us away from the idea of neo liberalism as d regulation, which i think is really misleading. Pushes us away from market fundamentalism on the premise that we actually have anything that could be called a free market or a disembedded market.

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.
