Neo-liberalism has been one of the most influential ideologies since the Second World War. This book provides an original account of its intellectual foundations, development, and conceptual configuration as an ideology. It presents a comparative study of the development and nature of neo-liberal ideas in the national contexts of Germany, Britain, and the United States since the twentieth century, addressing the following questions: What are neo-liberalism's intellectual origins? What influence did neo-liberalism have on public policy debates? What are neo-liberalism's core concepts, and how have they been interpreted in different national contexts that make it a distinctive ideology? In answering these questions, the book provides a deeper insight into the historical and intellectual origins and conceptual configuration of an ideology that reshaped politics and societies across the world. It explores the intellectual and historical genesis of neo-liberalism, presents a case study of ideological growth and formation, and concentrates on the four core concepts at the centre of neo-liberal ideology: the market, welfare, the constitution, and property.Less

In most universities, majors are determined largely by tradition. The main engine for change is new interdisciplinary fields that emerge in research, which subsequently may be converted to fields of study. At Minerva, we start from scratch, building a highly structured, flexible curriculum that enables students to obtain interdisciplinary, cross-disciplinary, and transdisciplinary training that is on the cutting-edge of knowledge. However, we treat these fields as sources of practical knowledge and treat them primarily as good starting points, not ends in-and-of-themselves. We assume that these fields will continue to evolve and aim to give students the intellectual foundations to adapt to the future.Less
