Origins of Neoliberalism

Philip Pilkington has begun a series on the origins of neoliberalism over at naked capitalism. The first argues that Hayek's political course from the Road to Serfdom on was a result of actively repressing the fact that his economic theory had begun to be at odds with reality. The second shows how his ideas were made palatable for an American audience. The third discusses how the ideas took root in Europe through the ordoliberals of Germany.

This series may be useful for my advanced seminar this coming semester.
