Résumé
This article explores the elective affinities between economization and neoliberalization, recontextualizing the so-called “neoliberal turn” of 1980s Brussels as the contingent result of a longer process. It will show in which situations and to what effect an economic technology designed to be a neutral decision-making tool for public policy like cost-benefit analysis was widely adopted and ultimately used to further economic integration and reallocate power over the European economy between member States, the EEC administration, and markets. This analysis complements existing scholarship by arguing that the “neoliberal turn“ found its origins in the Single Market policies of the 1970s.
