Leftist: "I tripped and fell over again?! Must be the fault of evil neoliberalism and globalist KKKapitalism!!!"

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.

Rule by corporations. Neoliberalism is a type of political ideology that politicians suddenly adopt when rich people make large donations.
Examples of neoliberal interest groups include Amazon, Nestle, the Koch Brothers.
Famous neoliberal politicians include Martin Shkreli, Jeff Bezos, and Ronald Reagan.

Guy 1: Neoliberalism is just rule by the corporations, when you think about it.
Guy 2: Nooooooo it’s when the government deregulates the economy!
Guy 1: So basically, rule by corporations. Think about it? What would they try do do differently if you thought they wanted corporations to rule everything?

Ronald Reagan was a neoliberal- so was George (Senior) Bush. I see people today using it to just mean liberal- when it means the exact opposite.
In the distant past of the early 2000s, the established definition actually paralleled "Neo-conservative" . Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, Alan Greenspan, and Milton Friedman were neoliberals, aka conservatives.
The definition of neoliberal (often shortened to "neolib") has had several definitions which are current undergoing re-invention in our post-truth societies. In that sense, it can mean whatever you want it to mean. But one problem with having so many active and contradictory definitions (of which this site seems to promote more than most others), is that canonical definitions will be thrown out, thus making historical review almost impossible. Already we have much confusion about how the Dixiecrats turned into the Republican Party of today.

"Neoliberals and Neoconservatives weren't opposing ideologies- so it is non-obvious that they went together like chocolate and peanut butter."

"Just as up is the new down, neolibs are the new libs."

A term used to describe a political ideology that emphasizes minimal government intervention in the economy, advocating for free-market capitalism, deregulation, and privatization. Neoliberals prioritize individual liberties, economic freedom, and limited government involvement. They often support policies aimed at reducing the role of the state in various aspects of society.
"The government's decision to privatize the healthcare system reflects a neoliberal approach to public services."
