Colbert viewed commerce as an instrument of national policy and merchants had little…

supports experiencing a profound crisis. It has survived in the UK by moving further towards what Mirowski might understand as monetarist neoliberalism— – so much so that the limits of monetary policy have been breached, with monetary activism in the coalition and Conservative governments’ economic policy agenda (building to some extent on their predecessor’s immediate response to the events of 2008) bleeding into extensive fiscal risks and spending commitments by the state in order to sustain…
