Channel: Idee Sottosopra
Date: 2024-03-29

🎉 This Friday, March 29th at 4 PM CET, get ready for a must-see event on YouTube! 🎥 Zaccarias Gigli will have the honor of interviewing live Quinn Slobodian, renowned professor of International History at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University. 🏛️

Slobodian is the author of groundbreaking works like "Globalists: The End of Empire and the Birth of Neoliberalism" (Meltemi, 2018) and "The Capitalism of Fragmentation: Market Fundamentalists and the Dream of a World Without Democracy" (Einaudi, 2023). 📚 In his first book, Slobodian delves into the dynamics of neoliberalism throughout the 20th century, revealing that it should not simply be viewed as an anti-state force but as an ambitious project using the state to safeguard the "sublime object": the global economy. 💼🌍

Contrary to widespread beliefs, he shows us how globalists rely on the power of public law to protect markets from democratic threats and irrational behaviors, creating an international institutional order for the free movement of capital. 📉➡️📈

In his second volume, Slobodian takes us on a journey from Hong Kong to Singapore, from Liechtenstein to Somalia, from Dubai to Silicon Valley, all the way to the Metaverse, highlighting the shift towards a fragmented capitalism where economic freedom reigns supreme. These emerging "freedom zones," far from political constitutions, represent the free market utopia, an archipelago of capitals outside the shadow of the nation-state. 🌐✨

Don't miss the chance to dive into this enlightening discussion on the future of the global economy and neoliberalism. Mark the date: March 29th, 4 PM. We'll be waiting! 📅🕓 #Neoliberalism #GlobalEconomy #QuinnSlobodian #ZaccariasGigli #LiveOnYouTube
