Chapter Chapter 1 in Reinventing Liberalism, 2020, pp 1-15 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Innset provides a brief overview of the literature on neoliberalism and distinguishes his approach from both the Marxist and the “policy” approach. Innset’s methodology is a non-normative rational reconstruction, which builds on the brand of intellectual history developed by the CambridgeCambridge School, but seeks to innovate this approach by using the tools of microhistory in a close study of the first meeting of the Mont Pelerin Society in 1947. Innset outlines his concept of “the dual argumentDual argument, the ” as a foundational element of early neoliberalism, and thus explains at the outset that neoliberalism was explicitly new since the dual argument entailed attacks on both liberalisms available at the time: laissez-faireLaissez-faire and social liberalismSocial liberalism , respectively.
