Public choice, often associated with the Virginia School in the US, has been a powerful branch of neoliberalism since the 1980s. Evidence suggests that within Europe too, the public choice theory of neoliberal management of governments has also proliferated, in many cases through connections built up across the liberal Atlas Network. Our panelists will examine the historical development of this influential school of economics, its political meaning, and evaluate its persistent effects on European Union institutions and policies.

Panelists:
Oddný Helgadóttir (Copenhagen Business School)
