Quinn Slobodian

Quinn Slobodian is a Canadian historian and professor at Wellesley College specialising in the history of capitalism, globalisation, and neoliberalism. He is one of the leading scholars of the intellectual history of market fundamentalism. Crack-Up Capitalism examines how free-market radicals have sought to create zones of extreme economic freedom — from charter cities to seasteads to special economic zones — that escape democratic oversight. His work is both scholarly and deeply relevant to contemporary political debates. His audiobooks and books are stimulating, essential listening and reading for anyone interested in economics, politics, and the future of global capitalism.
