The Triumph of Broken Promises provides a new global history of the economic origins of the end of the Cold War and the rise of neoliberalism. In this lecture, Bartel will weave together all of the era’s big actors – Reagan, Gorbachev, Thatcher, Volcker, Wałęsa, Kohl, Németh – with the big economic forces of the age – oil, finance, austerity, deindustrialization, and inequality – to provide a new history of the origins of Hungary’s 1989
