Back by popular demand, we bring you "A Brief History of Neoliberalism pt.2" Last week, Warren explained mainstream economics up to the 1970s. This week, he discusses Hayek, Friedman and the birth of neoliberalism - and offers a critique of their ideas. He also touches on how this philosophy was first tested out on developing countries, with terrible consequences. Stay tuned for the third instalment next week, where he returns home and discusses how Reagan and Thatcher brought neoliberalism to western shores - continued by every government since. Check out Pt.1 here: https://goo.gl/KVF32q Check out Pt.3 here: https://goo.gl/4Ngu9g If you want to read more about Hayek, check out Stephen Metcalf's recent essay: https://goo.gl/9G2TWj Credit to Naomi Klein's 'The Shock Doctrine' for the detail on Neoliberal Chile: https://goo.gl/Kcj9df ___ It's not all a history lesson though ;) We bring up a well-timed new release from The Smith Institute called "Out of Contract: Time to move on from the ‘love in’ with outsourcing and PFI". Check it out: https://goo.gl/syqdtX We also have some comedy gold in the form of the Tories most recent attempts to appeal to young people, with a new toolkit released for meme-ing... yeh. Unfortunately they still haven't got round to addressing the whole "backing the status quo, when the status quo isn't working for young people" conundrum. Bit of a critical problem that. ___ Like what you hear? Support us by... Follow on Soundcloud!
