Neoliberalism

In this session, we discuss neoliberalism in its global context. What is neoliberalism? How did neoliberalism become hegemonic around the globe? How did the United States government use international financial institutions to push neoliberalism on other countries? What are the consequences of neoliberalism?

This session was led by Lara Merling of the International Trade Union Confederation.
