Neoliberalism is the political-economic system that has dominated the world for 40 years, but what does it really mean and how does it relate to Bitcoin?
Free markets, deregulation, and a disdain for the state are all hallmarks of Bitcoin thinking, but these echo the same political ideas that shook the world since the 1980s.
Roger is the author of Would Mao Hold Bitcoin?: The Past, Present and Future of Bitcoin in Techno-Nationalist China. Roger is a frequent Bitcoin commentator and speaker, writing for publications such as Forbes.
We talk about the complexity and contradictions of neoliberalism, as well as the place Bitcoin plays in it.
