The first phase of neoliberalism starting around 1989 was characterized by \u201eshock therapies\u201c that were applied in various post-communist countries, and prescribed a policy mix of austerity, privatization of state owned companies, liberalization, deregulation and foreign direct investments as external resources of modernization. The second phase after the turn of the millenium was geared towards the privatization of key state competences, flat tax schemes and a deregulation of global financial capitalism. The neoliberal transformation and globalization \u2013 both processes were interconnected \u2013 did create new growth and investment, but it crashed in the global financial crisis in 2008\/09, when the Eastern European bubble burst as well. The neoliberal order turned out to be politically untenable because of rising social and regional inequality, that provoked a first strong antiliberal counter-reaction in 2016. We already know from recent experiences that the second electoral victories of antiliberal politicians and parties, and their subsequent governance are even more disruptive. That is also due to radicalizing dynamics in internal and (a)social media communication. Based on a Polanyian approach the talk will explore the continuities between neoliberalism and antiliberalism, which claims to end the neoliberal globalization, but continues neoliberal thinking and policies in key areas.<\/p>\n<h5>Speaker\uff1a<\/h5>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/iog.univie.ac.at\/en\/about-us\/staff\/professors\/ther-philipp\/\">THER, Philipp<\/a>\u3000<\/strong>\uff08Professor, University of Vienna\uff09<\/p>\n<p>Bio:<br \/>\n1997-1998: F.
