Starting points for a history of neoliberalism
 

Slobodian 131: "Histories of neoliberalism begin at different points [...] Some begin with the coup in Chile in 1973 and the rise to power of Augusto Pinochet [...] Others begin with the breaking of the UK miners' strike, or the slashing of top marginal tax rates in Reagan's America [...] Others go back further to the dissolution of the Hapsburg Empire [or] the transformation of the IMF and the World Bank into the disciplinary arm of the US State and Treasury Departments after Mexico's default and the onset of the Third World debt crisis in 1982"
