In conversation with Alexander Zevin

In conversation with Alexander Zevin In Liberalism at Large: The World According to The Economist (2019), Alexander Zevin – assistant professor of history at City University of New York and an editor at New Left Review – conducts an exacting audit of The Economist’s history as a mouth-piece of free-market liberalism and examines the magazine’s shaping role in the ascent of financial capitalism. Here, he is joined by Masoud Golsorkhi to discuss the book. They talk about the tight coupling between liberalism and imperialism, “radical centrism” and why Oxbridge graduates with funny haircuts have such a thing for war making.
