The Neoliberal Experiment: Wealth, Power, and the Selling of the World: A sharply argued investigation into how neoliberalism transformed the global order

What if the most dominant economic ideology of the last half-century wasn’t about shrinking government—but reshaping it into a weapon of capital?The Neoliberal Experiment: Wealth, Power, and the Selling of the Worldis a gripping, sharply argued investigation into how neoliberalism transformed the global order. From secret meetings in the Swiss Alps to the collapse of post-colonial sovereignty, this book traces the rise of a doctrine that promised freedom but delivered privatization, austerity, and profound inequality.Beginning with Friedrich Hayek and the Mont Pelerin Society, this intellectual history follows neoliberalism’s march through elite think tanks, legal frameworks, trade agreements, and cultural norms. It reveals how Reagan, Thatcher, and their successors didn’t just deregulate markets—they rewired the role of the state, sidelined democracy, and embedded investor supremacy into global institutions like the IMF and WTO.Along the way, readers will uncover how Silicon Valley libertarianism, supranational enforcement treaties, and “entrepreneurs of the self” turned economic policy into personal doctrine. Through deindustrialization, structural adjustment, and crisis management, neoliberalism didn’t die after 2008—it evolved, survived, and continues to haunt public life like an undead ideology.Read more
