While nearly all discussions of neoliberalism mention the role of Hayek, some commentators emphasize earlier thinkers and movements as well. Thomas Palley locates the intellectual lineage of contemporary neoliberalism in the laissez-faire economics of nineteenth-century Manchester and the repeal of England's Corn Laws ( \"From Keynesianism to Neoliberalism\"). Simon Clarke locates the foundations of neoliberalism in the work of Adam S�th (\"The Neolibe:ral Theory of Society\") . Conversely, Paul Treanor accentuates the diferences between Smith's emphasis on property and neoliberalism's emphasis on contract as well as the expansions of the. temporal space of the market under neoliberalism (\"Neoliberalism\"). Lemke, in his reading of unpublished lectures by Foucault, draws attention to Foucault's analysis of German economic liberalism in 1928-30, the Freiburg School or 01·doliberals, in relation to the Chicago School. Key to the approach of the Ordoliberals was the idea that markets need to be constituted and maintained through political interventions. The Chicago School difers in that rather than endorsing governance in the name and interest of the economy, it treated the social and political spheres themselves as economic domains. In their hands, the state itselfis a ldnd of enterprise. Government practices are thus to be evaluated on the basis of market concepts.\n\ns George, '�A Short History ofNeoliberalism:\n\nRonaldo Munck identifes the Pinochet military coup in Chile in 1973 and corresponding restructuring of the economy in accordance with the economic theories of the Chicago School as the first phase of neoliberalism, \"Neoliberalism and Politics, and the Politics of Neoliberalism:' See also Harvey, A Short History of Neoliberalism, 7-9. Harvey, in addition to noting the importance of the Chilean case, finds the management of the New York City fiscal crisis of 1975 crucial to the solidification of neoliber� polic:ies. He writes: \"It established the principle that in the event of a conflict between the integrity of financial institutions and bondholders' returns, on the one hand, and the well-being of the citizens on the other, the former was to be privileged. It emphasized that the role of government was to create a good business climate rather than look to the needs and well-being of the population at large;' 48.\n\n:10 Lebowitz, \"Ideology and Economic Development:\n\n:s. :i.

My point, however, is that these exceptions got drowned out, displaced, by left acceptance of the story that capitalism defeated comunism, that politics cannot be reduced to class struggle, and that markets are ultimately preferable to state-centered approaches to the economy.\n\nNOTES TO C HAPTER TWO\n\n183","previous_page":182,"next_page":184}
