The Quiet Coup: Neoliberalism and the Looting of America

Regardless of party orientation, exit polls of recent elections show that many Americans believe something has gone fundamentally wrong in our country. In the face of housing insecurity and an oppressive cost of living, many feel that the government can’t or won’t help them. Legal scholar Mehrsa Baradaran joins Professor Khalil Gibran Muhammad to argue that the source of this dysfunction can be found in policies crafted by adherents of a market-centered doctrine called neoliberalism. Looking at the work of law-abiding lawyers, judges, regulators, and policy makers, Baradaran charts how neoliberalism transformed the nation over the course of decades. Join us for a fascinating history of the forces that, since the late 1960s, may have led us to this tumultuous moment in American history.
