Historias 77 – Amy Offner on the Evolution of Capitalism
Dr. Amy Offner sat down with Lily for an insightful conversation centering on her book, Sorting Out the Mixed Economy: The Rise and Fall of Welfare and Developmental States in the Americas. The two discussed Colombia’s importance as a site of mid-twentieth century capitalist development, and the impact that varieties of capitalism had on a wide range of people – from public and private elites to campesinos. Offner offers a refreshing analysis of the evolution of capitalism over the course of the second half of the twentieth century, contextualizing the ascent of neoliberalism.
