neoliberalism 

The term "neoliberalism" is used to describe a variety of movements away from state control or protection of the economy and toward corporate control of the market, particularly beginning in the 1970s.

As described by UC Berkeley economic historian and defender of neoliberalism Professor Brad DeLong, this "ism" has two main tenets:
"The first is that close economic contact between the industrial core of the capitalist world economy and the developing periphery is the best way to accelerate the transfer of technology which is the sine qua non for making poor economies rich (hence all barriers to international trade should be eliminated as fast as possible). The second is that governments in general lack the capacity to run large industrial and commercial enterprises. Hence, except for core missions of income distribution, public-good infrastructure, administration of justice, and a few others, governments should shrink and privatize."

Neoliberalism 

A theory that the best way to advance society is through privatisation ,free market enterprise and tax breaks. A debateable belief in theory, however in practice, just like communism was used by the USSR it has become a state religion that is used to justify a corrupt corporate welfare state and a mass transfer of public money to private hands.

'Reagan pretended to subscribe to neoliberalism, a doctrine that taxing the rich less would have beneficial effects for the whole of society. Of course he didn't actually believe that but it sure worked in favour of the ruling classes.

neoliberalism 

A cross between communism and socialism. Heavy regulation on everything, a welfare capitalist economy, and a globalist president that imperials the globe. There are also hints of National Socialism(Hitler) and Fascism (Mussolini) in the sense of war constantly against other people and terrorism is used in order to suppress our rights.

Barack Obama and his Administration can be considered neoliberalism.

neoliberalism 

With collectivism on the rise, a group of liberal philosophers, economists, and journalists met in Paris at the Walter Lippmann Colloquium in 1938 to discuss the future prospects of liberalism. While the participants could not agree on a comprehensive programme, there was universal agreement that a new liberal (neoliberal) project, able to resist the tendency towards ever more state control without falling back into the dogma of complete laissez-faire, was necessary.

Neoliberalism does not all subscribe to a single comprehensive philosophy but instead finds common ground in shared sentiments and approaches to public policy.

1. Individual choice and markets are of paramount importance both as an expression of individual liberty and driving force of economic prosperity.

2. The state serves an important role in establishing conditions favorable to competition through preventing monopoly, providing a stable monetary framework, and relieving acute misery and distress.

3. Free exchange and movement between countries makes the world richer and has led to an unparalleled decline in global poverty.

4. Public policy has global ramifications and should take into account the effect it has on people around the world regardless of nationality.

The core policies of neoliberalism include: free trade, open borders, occupational licensing reform, zoning reform, carbon pricing and trans rights.
