Academics, pundits, and activists alike talk about "neoliberalism" in a number of different ways. In some instances it's a loose synonym for capitalism. In others it refers to a set of public policies. In yet others it refers to a sort of rationality. In this session, Lester Spence talks about two different ways to think of neoliberalism, and then facilitates a discussion about local ways to contest and work through it.
