On the unexpected origins of neoliberalism. We talk to Quinn Slobodian, author of Globalists, about how neoliberals look back to the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the League of Nations. Why does neoliberalism talk about freedom, but promote order? Is neoliberalism about more or less state - or is it about what kind of state? 

Plus why the genuine neoliberals didn’t care about the Cold War and how Murray Rothbard laid the ground for Trump. 

Readings:

Globalists, Quinn Slobodian

Neoliberalism’s World Order, Adam Tooze

Why I am not a conservative, F.A. von Hayek

The EU is a betrayal of Europe’s exceptionalism, Douglas Carswell

Great episode that still holds up well 18 months later, which a few Talking Politics podcasts don't. 😁
