Orbanism - Europe's post-neoliberal future? w/ Dorit Geva

Dorit Geva joins PTO to talk about the recent re-election victory
of Viktor Orbán in Hungary and Dorit's article, 'Orban’s
Ordonationalism as Post-Neoliberal Hegemony' which is published in
the journal Theory, Culture and Society. We discussed why Orban
secured such a convincing electoral victory in spite of the
opposition's highlighting of government corruption and Orban's
friendly relations with Vladimir Putin. We went on to talk about
the innovative character of Orban's post-neoliberal rule which
involves not merely erosion of democratic norms but also the
combining of certain elements of a neoliberal marketisation agenda
with efforts to promote national capital at the expense of foreign
corporations and the radical centralisation of state power.
