The distinctively neoliberal development discourse has been neglected by historians

Evidence

The early formation of the distinctly neoliberal discourse and the transnational social forces nurturing it in any case have escaped due attention. A future analysis of the neoliberal development discourse and thought collective as evidenced by MPS conferences and networks from the 1960s to the present time is likely to yield a better understanding of why many debates of longstanding issues are still unresolved indeed. — Philip Mirowski & Dieter Plehwe (eds.), The Road from Mont Pèlerin, 1336
