Laurent Warlouzet is Professor of History at the Paris Sorbonne University. He was a postdoctoral fellow at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), and at the European University Institute (EUI) of Florence.

'Laurent Warlouzet offers an innovative and stimulating analysis of the forms of capitalist governance of European institutions since 1945, which he analyzes through an interesting trinity: freedom, solidarity, and community. He shows that the European Union is an ideal laboratory for understanding how compromises are negotiated between these types of capitalism. This can offer new perspectives on possible regulations for the global capitalist system.' Sandrine Kott, author of A World More Equal: An Internationalist Perspective on the Cold War

European attempts to promote alternatives to neoliberal globalisation (1970–1992); 7. Common currency and neoliberal turn? (1970–1992); 8. The European Union under 'high neoliberalism' (1992–2015); 9. Solidarity: expanded and contested social and environmental action; 10: The resurgence of the community approach in the twenty-first century; Conclusions.
