Blog-Beitrag zur Geschichte neoliberaler Währungspolitik

In the book Freedom for Capital, Not People: The Mont Pèlerin Society and the Origins of the Neoliberal Monetary Order (Verso Books) Matthias Schmelzer argues that at the turn of the 1970s the society commanded influence at the highest levels of international monetary policy. Debates sparked by Hayek, Milton Friedman and Ludwig von Mises emigrated from the seminar room to the halls of power, and the group’s collective – though internally contested – agenda would dominate the next half century of global capitalism.

The History and Political Economy Project has been proud to support Joshua Rahtz’s English translation of this book. HPE Postdoctoral Fellow Andrew Anastasi just did an interview with both on the text, its history, and the new audiences it might find in the present conjuncture. 

The interview is available here.
