The Political Movement that Dared not Speak its own Name: The Neoliberal Thought Collective Under Erasure
Philip Mirowski∗ Working Paper No. 23 September 2014
ABSTRACT
Why do so many people who should know better argue that Neoliberalism 'does not exist'? In this paper I examine the disinclination to treat the Neoliberal political project as a serious intellectual project motivating a series of successes in the public sphere. Economists seem especially remiss in this regard.
Keywords: Neoliberalism, Angus Burgin, Leo Strauss, Friedrich Hayek, Mont Pelerin, classical liberalism. ∗
