Abstract: Abstract Innset follows the argument concerning markets as mediators of modernityModernity from the socialist calculation debatesSocialist calculation debates, the into the Walter Lippmann’s Colloquium of 1938. As the threat of communist revolution rescinded, the threat of fascismFascism loomed larger, and self-proclaimed neoliberals conceptualized fascism as a form of socialismSocialism. Social liberalismSocial liberalism was understood as a step on a slippery slope towards socialism, as the neoliberals claimed that subversion of market mechanisms ultimately led to totalitarian dictatorships. The solution they offered was a new liberalism which could use the power of modern states in the service of markets.
