أوغاد هايك: علاقة اليمين المتطرف بالعرق والذهب ومعدل الذكاء والرأسمالية

Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Criticism: How Neoliberals Turned to Nature to Defend Inequality after the End of the Cold War. Neoliberals were supposed to view the end of the Cold War as a complete victory, but they did not. Rather, they saw communism as a chameleon that changes colors from red to green. The poison of civil rights, feminism, and environmentalism had seeped into society's veins, and they needed an antidote. To challenge demands for equality, many neoliberals have turned to nature. Race, intelligence, land, and precious metals will be bulwarks against progressive policies. By reading and misinterpreting the writings of their sages, Friedrich Hayek and Ludwig von Mises, they formulated a philosophy based on three fundamentals: innate human nature, hard borders, and hard currency, and forged alliances with ethnopsychologists, neo-Confederates, ethno-nationalists, and gold rushers, which would later become known as the alt-right. Tracing Hayek's illegitimate ideas, from Murray Rothbard to Charles Murray and Javier Mele, we find that major currents of the far right have emerged within the neoliberal intellectual movement, not against it. What has been described in recent years as an ideological reaction against neoliberal globalization is often closer to a direct reaction. This intellectual history shows us that the alleged clash of opposites is more like a family dispute.
