Mark Blyth - A Brief History of How We Got Here and Why
McMaster Humanities
Political economist Mark Blyth gives a lecture tracing two versions of capitalist 'software': the postwar Great Compression era and the neoliberal era from 1980 to 2008. He explains the bug that crashed the first and the design of the second.
Recommended as a great primer on how neoliberalism developed and why the postwar order broke down.
