The response of Geneva School neoliberals was one of co-­optation and redefinition. [fact]

The leading thinkers of the Geneva School ­after the assault on the WTO took neither the Pinochet option nor the recourse to a "liberal dictator" in their theorizing. Rather, they turned to the language of Pinochet's most effective opponents: that of ­human rights. The response of Geneva School neoliberals was one of co-­optation and redefinition. With echoes of Philip Cortney's postwar calls for the ­human right of capital flight, they doubled down on the very language of ­human rights scorned by Hayek to buttress their proj­ect.
