This lecture examines the twin challenges facing high-income, liberal-meritocratic-capitalist regimes in the post-globalization era: the decline of manufacturing employment since 1980 and the need for a rapid green energy transition. It argues that these challenges can be addressed without sacrificing faith in a market economy, drawing on Hayekian insights to propose bottom-up and market-based solutions as alternatives to protectionism, subsidies, and industrial policy.
