Mount Humboldthain Society (Neoliberalism Discussion Group)
Details
I hereby convene the 1st Annual Meeting of the Mount Humboldthain Society's Neoliberal Economic Summit. In the shadow of the Flakturm will shall meet where the water is healthy (Gesundbrunnen) and the takes are hot. Membership is (somewhat) open to the masses, this isn't Davos, this isn't Mont Pelerin. This is Wedding.
Huh? Is this some kind of joke?
Ja-nein
Though our name strikes a humorous tone, our commitment to learning and discussing is serious in nature. If they can do it, so can we.
What we will do is read and discuss some of the latest academic literature on the thing that goes by the name of "neoliberalism".
Theme of the 1st Summit: Moving Beyond Mont Pelerin
