Daniella Gabor on the Wallstreet Consensus (starts out in French but interview is in English)

i don't expect there to be too many takers but this is about the historical trajectories bw keysianism –> neoliberalism (washington consensus) –> a post neoliberal order that is still emerging. broadly distinguished from keyne's proposition that any social transformation we want we can pay for (the state can finance) to today where it might be characterised as any transformation we want private finance can pay for (which is of course contingent on transformation being agreeable to capital broadly)

for anyone unfamiliar daniella gabor is a phd in banking and finance and is an enormously knowledgable, insightful and charismatic speaker
