Quinn Slobodian responds on tariffs, trade wars, and Trump (Patreon)

In today's episode, Quinn Slobodian returns to answer questions sent in by listeners in response to our recent episode on Quinn's new book, Hayek's Bastards: The Neoliberal Roots of the Populist Right. Quinn responded to listeners regarding the elements of the Trump programme that can be characterised as being within the lineage of neoliberalism (and those that decidedly can't), the objectives of the trade war, the "Mar-a-Lago accord" and the prospects of a deliberate weakening of the dollar, and the relationship between militarism, the security state and neoliberal economic policy. Thanks to everyone who sent in a question, and to all of you for your continued support for the show.
