Neoliberalism rose to hegemony through transnational networks of scholars and allies

Evidence

In this volume, we revisit the historical origins of neoliberal knowledge in four countries—France, Germany, the UK, and the United States; we sample some of the key debates and conflicts among neoliberal scholars and their political and corporate allies during the 1950s and 1960s regarding trade unions, development economics, antitrust policies, and the influence of philanthropy; and then we explore the ways in which disagreement has been managed to bolster neoliberal claims to authoritative knowledge in structuring public and private affairs at national and international levels in Chile, Peru, and the United Nations. — Philip Mirowski & Dieter Plehwe (eds.), The Road from Mont Pèlerin, 81
