The term neoliberalism refers to the political and economic ideology dominant from the 1970s to the Global Financial Crisis. In this talk John Quiggin will describe the central elements of neoliberalism: privatisation, financialisation, austerity and managerialism. He will explain the failure of each of these. And he will consider options for the future, focusing on the future of work.

John Quiggin is an Australian laureate fellow in economics at the University of Queensland. He is prominent both as a research economist and as a commentator on Australian economic policy. He is a fellow of the Econometric Society and the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia.

In political terms, Quiggin describes himself as a ‘socialist and democrat’.
