Historians of ideas still prefer individual authors and books over social and conceptual history; sociologists seem to consider other social formations more important than institutionalized neoliberal networks when it comes to their relevance to political change; historians of economics can't let go of their obsessions with Hayek and Friedman; while social geographers foster a keen curiosity for the local Monts, which can come at the expense of interest in the larger community of Pèlerins.
