Lecture on Neoliberalism and the Future of Democracy
March 19, 2018
Tuesday, 4/3, 10:50 a.m. – 12:05 p.m. Knapp Hall University Club
Dr. Travis Holloway, assistant professor of philosophy, will lecture on neoliberalism. All are welcome.
Political philosophers in Europe began warning in the late 1970s that a new and relatively obscure economic theory, neoliberalism, would undermine representative government and the public’s trust in it. Unlike laissez-faire or liberal economic theory — a “leave us alone” strategy in which the state does not interfere with private enterprise — advocates of “neoliberalism” argue that governments should use the resources of the state to assist the market directly and employ the market to direct or oversee the resources of the state.

The lecture is presented as part of the Dr. Eleanor Fapohunda School of Arts & Science Colloquium Series.
