The book describes the background of the neoliberal revolution - the activity of free market supporters on both sides of the Atlantic in the 1930s, during the Great Depression. The author explores how ideas gradually crystallized - both meaningfully and, importantly, rhetorically - justifying the advantages of the free market. This is the story of people and ideas (as well as various organizations that provided communication between the neoliberals of Europe and America, the publication of their books, lectures, etc., and charitable foundations that financed these organizations and events).
