Globalists: The End of Empire and the Birth of Neoliberalism
The Globalists pulls back the curtain on a powerful, often invisible movement—one that sought not to dismantle the nation-state, but to encase it in a legal and economic armor that would protect markets from the turbulence of democracy. Through the rise of neoliberal thought in the 20th century, it tells the provocative story of economists and visionaries who believed freedom was best safeguarded not by parliaments, but by institutions beyond the reach of the people. Can true democracy survive when sovereignty is traded for stability, and when markets are placed beyond the will of the majority? With piercing clarity and unsettling relevance, this book traces the quiet construction of a global order designed not for chaos—but for control. It is the intellectual history of a world remade behind closed doors.
