Colloquium "Europe's History of the Present: Universalism and Particularism"

The KFG colloquium continues on Monday, December 4th, with an interdisciplinary workshop on theories and methods on "Neoliberalism", organized by Junior Fellow Max Trecker and our guest Tobias Rupprecht.

Max Trecker, born in 1989 in Strausberg, studied history and economics at LMU Munich and CEU Budapest. His dissertation on the coordination of East-South economic relations in the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance was published by Routledge in 2020 as Red Money for the Global South: East-South Economic Relations in the Cold War. His most recent book, Neue Unternehmer braucht das Land: Die Genese des ostdeutschen Mittelstands nach der Wiedervereinigung, on the birth of a new entrepreneurial class in East Germany after 1989, came out in 2022. In Munich, he will work on a research project on Ukraine as a site of economic imagination.

Tobias Rupprecht is a global historian with a particular interest in the history of (state) socialism and (neo)liberalism. His research has mostly addressed Soviet and Eastern European encounters with the Global South, and economic reform debates in socialist countries. He taught both Russian and Latin American history in Denmark and the UK before joining Scripts in 2020 to study economists and marketisation debates in Eastern Europe and China in the late 20th century.
