1. Some notes on influences on this essay, which has been in the works for several months. I profited from the work of @adam_tooze on the Eurocrisis and @zeithistoriker on neoliberalism, to which I try to add a political-historical angle. bit.ly/2L8yhxP
2. Embedded in the essay is a plea to consider, besides the intellectual-historical 'Road from Mont Pelerin' story of diffusion, a complementary account of convergent national politics 'Roads to the Lisbon Treaty'.
3. The national contexts in which neoliberalism has developed have been studied extremely fruitfully by sociologists, in particular the scholarship of @cornelban73, Johanna Bockman and Gil Eyal.
4. But thinking about various national neoliberalisms is was ideally suited to a 'Primat der Innenpolitik' analysis; for the history of European integration, Alan Milward and Perry Anderson remain the essential examples of this approach (ditto Stuart Hall's work on Thatcherism).
5. Finally, the contemporary conjuncture in which right-wing parties with an anti-cosmopolitan nationalist agenda continue a commitment to austerity and offshore corporate and financial globalization has been helpfully captured by @reijerhendrikse's work on 'neo-illiberalism'.
