A COSMOPOLITAN LAWYER: JUST SOME READINGS I HAVE ENJOYED LATELY

First, this blog replaces my previous blog, thecosmoplitanlawyerblogspot.com . Second, unlike that earlier blog, the present one is primarily meant as a record of my readings. It is not meant to suggest that others will be or should be interested in what I read. And third, in a sense, it is a public diary of one who is an alien in his own American culture. A person who feels at home just about anywhere, except in his birthplace . . . America.

GLOBALISM AND THE GENEVA SCHOOL

Quinn Slobodan, Globalists: The End of Empire and the Birth of Neoliberalism (Cambridge, Massachusetts, & London, England: Harvard University Press, 2018) (From the book jacket: "Neoliberals hate the state. Or do they? In the first intellectual history of neoliberal globalism, Quinn Slobodan follows a group of thinkers from the ashes of the Habsburg Empire to the creation of the World Trade Organization to show that neoliberalism emerged less to shrink government and abolish regulation than to redeploy them at a global level.").
