Episode notes

Hik concludes in the late 19 seventies, looking at margaret's margaret thatcher's policy. She wanted to effectively end emigration from countries of the global south. He doesn't come out in principled opposition to that and say people should deserve the same rights of movement that capital does. That would be a kind of a honourable libertarian position, you could say. But he says, no, people are a special kind of ou no factor of production, in effect. And they can be very disruptive.

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.
