Who is a "Neoliberal" and what is their agenda?
Betchya can't name one.
shareNeoliberalism means, literally, new liberalism. Classical liberalism in a pure sense involves personal and economic individual freedom so long as your freedom does not impede on the well being or freedom of others, and that the government should be hands off as a means to assure it does not become oppressive and stifle freedom. Neoliberalism is characterized by the same theoretical goals , only the government is perceived as both a tool for assuring that individual freedoms and well being are preserved and as having an ethical duty to right wrongs and promote well being.
Keelai is neoliberal.
Your definition of "classical liberalism" is actually an accurate description of libertarianism ("government should be hands off?" Have you ever read about FDR? LBJ? Sheesh!).What a massive show of ignorance! Where DID you go to school ?
shareI should have expected something like that from a moron like yourself.
Oh well.
I agree with Thaisticks. You're confusing classical liberalism with libertarianism.
Neoliberals are really Republicans like Reagan, Trump and Thatcher who believe in less business regulation and taxes for the rich, less social programs, outsourcing jobs to foreign countries, etc..

I'm definitely NOT a neoliberal!!!
You're both wrong then:
"In the context of American politics, "classical liberalism" may be described as "fiscally conservative" and "socially liberal".[17] Despite this, classical liberals tend to reject the right's higher tolerance for economic protectionism and the left's inclination for collective group rights due to classical liberalism's central principle of individualism.[18] Additionally, in the United States, classical liberalism is considered closely tied to, or synonymous with, American libertarianism.[19][20]"
Does it ever get embarrassing flouting that ignorance for everyone to see?
You're 100% confused:
"However, other scholars have made reference to these contemporary thoughts as neoclassical liberalism, distinguishing them from 18th-century classical liberalism."
That's what happens when you rely on Wikipedia! I suggest you find a better source.
I linked that low brow statement for your illiterate convenience.
If you're going to try to refute something, perhaps find a statement that doesn't qualify itself with, "however, other scholars...," a clear affirmation that the perspective I referenced is recognized, if not universally agreed on. That's a fail for you.
You're confusing liberalism, classical liberalism aka neoliberalism and libertarianism.
shareAt least he gave a definition - you didnt in the OP, and since every single person has a different idea of what that phrase might mean just saying "who knows a neoliberal" is pointless
shareIt's true that the term is nebulous and has little concrete meaning outside of economics.
That's how the typical interaction goes with Keelai on these forums though; when he's demonstrated to be wrong he resorts to an insult like linking that children's reading page and dips out.
