Video Description
On this week’s episode of the Prospect Podcast, Ellen and Alona are joined by Canadian historian Quinn Slobodian to discuss the ideologies behind today’s radical right-wing governments. The rise of the populist right is often framed as a backlash against neoliberalism—a revolt by those “left behind” by globalisation. But in his new book ‘Hayek’s Bastards’, Quinn argues the opposite: that movements like Donald Trump’s Maga, the UK’s Brexit and Argentina’s Javier Milei are not a reaction to neoliberalism, but its latest iteration. Tracing the intellectual lineage of today’s far-right, he characterises it as a “new fusionism” between three ideological pillars: racialised beliefs in genetically hardwired human nature, hard money, and hard borders. Quinn answers: who are “Hayek’s bastards”? Are the right better at engaging with ideas than the left? And what does Trump really believe? Prospect’s podcasts are the new home for intelligent discussions on politics and media from the UK, US and around the world.
