ARCHIVE: The Economist Magazine's Role in US-Backed Coups & The Rise of Neoliberal Capitalism

We speak to Alexander Zevin, author of ‘Liberalism at Large: The World According to The Economist’. He exposes The Economist’s deep involvement in promoting free trade and the Laissez-faire disaster in Ireland during the Irish famine, pushing Western foreign policy goals such as the Pinochet coup in Chile, to the coup in Iran in 1953, to US-backed regime change operations in Venezuela today. He also discusses the class dimension to the rise of The Economist magazine, and why it is so highly sought after for advertising purposes.
