    Globalists: The End of Empire and the Birth of Neoliberalism

    What if the architects of our global economy never believed in free markets—but sought to shackle democracy itself? Quinn Slobodian unveils how neoliberal visionaries, emerging from the ashes of empire, built an invisible fortress of rules to protect capital from the chaos of human choice. As their utopian project teeters amid revolt and ruin, one question remains: Did they save the world… or rig it against us all?
