On this edition of Parallax Views, a previously unreleased conversation from July 2025 with Yale historian and legal scholar Samuel Moyn returns to the program to unpack the arguments in his recent Guardian article, âAmerica is over neoliberalism and neoconservatism. Trump is not.â
Moyn argues that while Donald Trump has often been portrayed as an unprecedented break with American politicsâwhether as a populist challenger to the status quo or as an authoritarian threatâthe reality is more complicated. Yes, Trump has moved in an authoritarian direction, from mass immigration roundups to open pandering to extremist forces. But at the same time, his administration has doubled down on the âzombie ideologiesâ of the past fifty years: neoliberalism in domestic policy and neoconservatism in foreign policy.
