Description
Globalists: The End of Empire and the Birth of Neoliberalism by Quinn Slobodian is an intellectual history that explores the emergence of neoliberal globalism. It follows a group of thinkers from the Habsburg Empire to the creation of the World Trade Organization, revealing how they sought to create globally applicable economic rules against a backdrop of anarchy. Their attempt was marked by both success and failure, as the relentless change and social injustice that accompanied it undermined their project at every turn. This book sheds light on the profound conservatism of the first generation of neoliberals and their fundamental hostility to democracy. By tracing the ideas of these Western thinkers, Slobodian provides a fascinating insight into the development of neoliberalism as a political project, one that continues to shape our world today.
