Content

Quinn Slobodian (@zeithistoriker), author of "Globalists: The End of Empire and the Birth of Neoliberalism," joins us to discuss the recent history of global trade. What the WTO protests meant in the 1990s. Neoliberalism as a proactive project and not a natural outgrowth of "markets." The Bretton Woods system and the vision of economics in the middle of the 20th century. What splits are evident in neoliberal groups like the Mont Pelerin society given modern economic issues like Brexit and Trump's trade wars. Apartheid and neoliberalism.

wonderful topics. wish we could have the transcript of the shows

I agree that transcripts would be very helpful, especially on the illicit histories. I learn a lot but have difficultly retaining and recalling the information without having to search through the episodes again. You do great work, Michael. Thanks a lot.

If you upload the clip to YouTube and wait a few minute, an automated transcript will be available using YouTubes closed captioning speech recognition algorithm See <a href="https://www.lifehacker.com.au/2014/01/use-youtube-for-instant-and-free-transcription/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.lifehacker.com.au/2014/01/use-youtube-for-instant-and-free-transcription/</a> it is not going to be perfect, but you can capture the text and edit it, it doesn't take long to get it cleaned up.

"We don't know since we haven't tried it", tell me about it! My professional community is science, and I can't tell you enough about how generally liberally progressive most science geeks are, and yet horribly naive politically. By nature scientists love experimentation and risk, it's how progress is made. A common mantra is make mistakes, but make them early and often (weed out all your crazy ideas). But my colleagues get incredibly skittish when I try to talk to them about post-capitalism and hopes for a socialist political economy.

Not a scientist, but I've also seen that when it comes to technical and scientific progress, folks talk about nano-bots, brain uploading, and self aware AI. All that stuff is seen as within possibility, while a different political and economic system is "unrealistic." Why do you think that is from what you have seen?
