Based on archival research and interviews with leading participants in the movement,Masters of the Universetraces the ascendancy of neoliberalism from the academy of interwar Europe to supremacy ...under Reagan and Thatcher and in the decades since. Daniel Stedman Jones argues that there was nothing inevitable about the victory of free-market politics. Far from being the story of the simple triumph of right-wing ideas, the neoliberal breakthrough was contingent on the economic crises of the 1970s and the acceptance of the need for new policies by the political left. This edition includes a new foreword in which the author addresses the relationship between intellectual history and the history of politics and policy.
Fascinating, important, and timely, this is a book for anyone who wants to understand the history behind the Anglo-American love affair with the free market, as well as the origins of the current economic crisis.
"One of the most important political books of 2018."-Rod Dreher,American ConservativeOf the three dominant ideologies of the twentieth century-fascism, communism, and liberalism-only the last ...remains. This has created a peculiar situation in which liberalism's proponents tend to forget that itisan ideology and not the natural end-state of human political evolution. As Patrick Deneen argues in this provocative book, liberalism is built on a foundation of contradictions: it trumpets equal rights while fostering incomparable material inequality; its legitimacy rests on consent, yet it discourages civic commitments in favor of privatism; and in its pursuit of individual autonomy, it has given rise to the most far-reaching, comprehensive state system in human history. Here, Deneen offers an astringent warning that the centripetal forces now at work on our political culture are not superficial flaws but inherent features of a system whose success is generating its own failure.
While most of the literature has attempted to justify harsh and soft containment given some fundamental commitments of political liberalism, I focus on how justified forms of containment can in ...themselves be deemed effective. This article shows that a reading of Rawls allows for a comparison of different containment practices based on their capacity to protect the stability of liberal democracies under serious threat. And, in making it possible to compare harsh and soft containment, I evaluate immediate stability gains against citizens’ judgements about their liberal democratic institutions.
Laski y Hobhouse: las trayectorias del liberalismo social inglés (José Luís Monereo PéreZ). El New Deal como encrucijada para el progresismo jurídico liberal norteamericano: el caso de Roscoe Pound ...(Leopoldo García Ru/'Z. Cuenta la obra con un excelente trabajo introductorio de Richard Bellamy, catedrático de Ciencias Políticas en el University College London, que aporta un análisis global de la evolución del liberalismo entre 1918 y 1945 y el impacto subsecuente de esa evolución, enfatizando la triple crisis vivida en aquellos años y que afectó, en primer lugar, al correcto funcionamiento del mercado libre como forma de organización económica -con las resultantes propuestas de corrección vía intervención estatal-; en segundo lugar, al descrédito de la democracia y del aparato normativo e institucional liberal dirigido a contener una política de masas que ya se evidenciaba problemática en lo político; y, por Ultimo, una severa crisis de valores palpable en el ascenso de alternativas colectivistas y totalitarias frente al canon liberal. Hayek amerita un capítulo centrado en su figura, firmado por Elvira Alonso Romero (Universidad CEU-Cardenal Herrera) y que incluye un detallado análisis del complejo pensamiento hayekiano y la aportación del mismo dentro del renacido neoliberalismo que triunfaría en los años setenta y que incluía un importante papel para el Estado como garante de la libertad del individuo frente a la coacción externa.
The Making of Modern Liberalismis a deep and wide-ranging exploration of the origins and nature of liberalism from the Enlightenment through its triumphs and setbacks in the twentieth century and ...beyond. The book is the fruit of the more than four decades during which Alan Ryan, one of the world's leading political thinkers, has reflected on the past of the liberal tradition--and worried about its future.
Tracing the emergence of liberalism as articulated by some of its greatest proponents, including Locke, Tocqueville, Mill, Dewey, Russell, Popper, Berlin, and Rawls, the book explores key themes such as the meaning and nature of freedom, individual rights, and tolerance. It also examines how property rights fit within liberal thinking, how work and freedom are connected, and how far liberal freedoms are compatible with a socialized economy.
This is essential reading for anyone interested in political theory or the history of liberalism.

Desde su creación, la provincia y su organización a través de la diputación provincial ha sido objeto de continuos cuestionamientos tanto desde un punto de vista político como jurídico que deben llevarnos a reflexionar sobre su posición institucional desde el prisma de un modelo organizativo y competencial basado en la diversidad territorial.
...we offer a theoretical perspective to analyze regimes of regulation, accumulation and distribution that materialize in transnational commodity flows, cross-border mobilities and spaces in the ...South-central Andes. While there have been important developments in recent years on Andean economic practices past and present on the one hand, and questions of state (neo)liberalism and border dynamics on the other, these debates have, for the most part, taken place in isolation. ...the dossier seeks to bring these debates together to throw light on the relationship between Aymara and Quechua groups, the state, and (neo)liberalismfrom the mid-19th to the present through the lens of commodity flows, cross-border mobility and transborder spaces. The second aim of the introduction is to facilitate a space for exchange and dialogue that can transgress national academic debates and Anglo-American and Latin-American-based research environments -and to emphasize the need to de-colonialize ways of thinking about economic life and borders.
