The recent interview with Quinn Slobodian, author of “Crack-Up Capitalism: Market Radicals and the Dream of a World Without Democracy,” delves into the evolution of libertarianism in both the U.S. and Europe. Highlighting ideologies that connect to racial segregation and even late apartheid South Africa, Slobodian discusses how these ideas often predict and may even contribute to economic catastrophes, yet offer solutions that benefit a select few. The conversation reveals a complex and often contradictory relationship between libertarian thought and modern capitalism.
