This lecture responds to two puzzles. The first is why it is not more widely accepted that the neoliberal era can be effectively understood to be a marriage between an Ordoliberal celebration of free markets and the late twentieth-century rational choice revolution in the social sciences. The second is why neoliberalism continues to be confused with classical liberalism, despite the fact that the latter is a normative system of rights, while the former jettisons moral normativity in favor of hypothetical descriptivism.

In this talk, Julian Eckl will draw on an ethnographic long-term study of sites of global health governance. At these sites, he has met people who presented themselves as experts, has witnessed conflicts over expertise, and was at times referred to as an expert himself. The goal of the talk will be to provide a perspective on global health governance that zooms in on the lived experiences of practitioners.
