Скачать или смотреть Has the Free Market Failed? By Deirdre McCloskey (Hayek Programme Event)

From Donald Trump to Bernie Sanders, criticism of free markets, free trade, and globalization is now heard across the political spectrum. On the right, many blame free trade for hollowing out domestic industries; on the left, others claim it enables the exploitation of the Global South. Has the post-war economic consensus collapsed? And if so, what comes next?

This event, hosted by the LSE Hayek program, featured economic historian Deirdre McCloskey, Bryan Cheang and Mani Basharzard. It explored whether the free market really failed or whether we misunderstood what made us rich in the first place. It also looked at the state of economics today—and whether the discipline itself needs a moral and intellectual reboot.
