The gang are enjoying a well earned break for the fortnight, but don't worry - we've got that top-class content still rolling in for you. This week we're releasing one of our most popular features - The History of Neoliberalism - as a single podcast, having originally been released across episodes 9-13. In it, we: - Summarise neoliberalism - Explain mainstream economics up to the 1970s - Discuss Hayek, Friedman and the birth of neoliberalism - Offer a critique of neoliberal theory. - Touch on how neoliberalism was tested on developing countries, with terrible consequences. - Explain how and why Thatcher and Reagan spearheaded Neoliberalism in the West during the 80s. - Describe how the political left embraced neoliberalism, through the Third Way politics of Bill Clinton and Tony Blair - Take a look at neoliberalism in the rest of the industrialised world - Break down the 2008 financial crisis - Reveal how neoliberalism has doubled-down since the Great Recession. - Discuss whether we can ever get out of this mess.
