Myths of Neoliberalism

In this talk at Imperial College London, Economics Professor Robin Hahnel explains the origins of the financial crisis of 2007, and exposes the popular myths behind the free-market and laissez-faire capitalism.

The talk is based on a new version of his book:

The ABCs of Political Economy - a modern approach

A lively introduction to modern political economy, providing the essential tools needed to understand economic issues today. This revised and expanded edition covers the origins of the financial crisis, the ensuing recession, and why governments have failed to improve matters for the majority of their citizens.
