We’re pleased to announce the launch of After Order, a new podcast series from Alameda, produced in collaboration with Macrodose.

Emerging from Alameda’s ongoing After Order research project, the series starts from a simple yet unsettling proposition: rather than living through an interregnum between stable systems, we may be in a period defined by recurring crises — a time after order.

Over the coming weeks, host James Meadway will be joined by leading thinkers from around the world to explore some of the defining questions of our moment — from the decline of American hegemony and the rise of a multipolar world, to the struggle for digital sovereignty and the geopolitical tensions shaping the global energy transition.

Across the series, we ask: where does power lie in a world after order — and what new pathways might still be opened within it?

The first episode features Quinn Slobodian and Ben Tarnoff in conversation on their new book, Muskism: A Guide for the Perplexed. Using Elon Musk as a lens, they examine “Muskism” as an emerging political-economic logic in the aftermath of neoliberalism — and what it reveals about the ideological terrain of the present.

If the neoliberal era is indeed drawing to a close, can Muskism help us make sense of what comes next? And what possibilities remain for challenging it?
