Is Global Neoliberalism Collapsing? Ruddard Lynch & Austin Padet on the End of an Era

This thought-provoking discussion features Ruddard Lynch and Austin Padet as they examine the rise and potential collapse of global neoliberalism. The conversation explores how a powerful “narrator class” — made up of media, academia, and bureaucratic institutions — shaped public perception in the decades following the Cold War. They contrast the Anglo-Saxon ideal of individual liberty with a French-influenced technocratic state model that relies on regulation and centralized management. Central to their analysis is the fallout from the 2008 financial crisis and the global disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, events they argue exposed deep structural weaknesses in modern bureaucratic systems. The discussion also compares how regions like Russia, China, and Europe have navigated this turbulent era, raising questions about economic stagnation, cultural decay, and whether the neoliberal order is approaching a breaking point.
