Event Highlights: Neoliberal Political Economy, Subjectivity, and Resilience with Peter Hall, Michele Lamont, Vivien Schmidt and Mark Thatcher
On Wednesday, April 9, the Center for the Study of Europe and the Center for Finance, Law & Policy, celebrated the publication by Cambridge University Press of Resilient Liberalism in Europe’s Political Economy, edited by Center Director Vivien Schmidt and LSE colleague Mark Thatcher. Schmidt and Thatcher were joined at Boston University by Peter Hall and Michèle Lamont, co-editors of Social Resilience in the Neoliberal Era, another recent publication from Cambridge University Press. The four panelists took up the question of “resilience,” both the resilience of neoliberal ideas in policy debates and policy discourse, the theme of Schmidt and Thatcher’s book, as well as the resilience of communities, social groups and nations in the face of neoliberal challenges, the theme of Hall and Lamont’s book.
