| | Neoliberalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The most restrictive definition of neoliberal is "laissez-faire, capital market driven, privatization and trade arrangements." Under this specific form, neoliberalism is a business-conservative policy aimed at enforcing stringent budget discipline on developed and developing nations by requiring, for all but the US, balanced budgets and trade flows. | | | Neoliberalism is widely used as a description of the revived form of economic liberalism that became increasingly important in international economic policy discussions from the 1970s onwards. | | | While both share a belief in market economics and free trade, neoliberal economics theory shares with neoliberal international relations theory (and liberal internationalism) a belief in international regimes and a degree of global governance as a means of negotiating and administering international agreements. |

| | [Marxism] Campbell and neoliberalism |
| | Neoliberalism means the reduction in the "role of government" in solving problems as demanded by the people (the BC Liberal government is one such case). | | | Neoliberalism is "anti-people" concepts - seen in BC by the Liberal government cutting social services to the most needy in society - the Women and Child-care Centers, and is selling off government assets to foreign interests and so on all highly contrary to the public good. | | | Neoliberalism is the new Liberal philosophy of restructuring society to benefit the giant corporations and make capitalism "work better." It is the subordination of sovereignty, democracy and government to big business interests. |

| | (DV) Giroux: Neoliberalism and the Demise of Democracy |
| | Neoliberal policies dominate the discourse of politics and use the breathless rhetoric of the global victory of free-market rationality to cut public expenditures and undermine those non-commodified public spheres that serve as the repository for critical education, language, and public intervention. | | | Neoliberalism is not simply an economic policy designed to cut government spending, pursue free trade policies, and free market forces from government regulations; it is also a political philosophy and ideology that effects every dimension of social life. | | | Neoliberalism has heralded a radical economic, political, and experiential shift that now largely defines the citizen as a consumer, disbands the social contract in the interests of privatized considerations, and separates capital from the context of place. |

| | CCC - Neoliberalism and the Economic Reconstruction of Iraq |
| | The neoliberal agenda was to either free prices totally or to readjust prices of the controlled sectors to provide firms with a positive rate of return. | | | In short, one of the main advantages of the neoliberal model is that it shifts a good deal of the costs for reconstruction and development to the private sector, thus reducing the direct burden placed on the United States and its coalition partners. | | | Since the neoliberal model relies primarily on functioning markets and private sector initiative to shift resources where they are most profitable, it is essential that a stable environment exists within which realistic estimates of future prices, costs, and rates of return can be made. |

| | Under neoliberalism, the state is not the source of power; rather, power is held by the corporations and the financial centres of the world, comprising financial institutions that lend money to businesses. | | | These same people think neoliberal economics is regarded as the key to all doors for trade (finances and merchandise) and find it natural to measure the worth of men, women, and children by their effectiveness as an economic tool. | | | "The theoretical assumption of neoliberalism is that the free functioning of the market forces leads to a better utilization and allocation of resources, guarantees a better satisfaction of the requirements of consumption and bigger balance of the foreign trade, and altogether produces higher economic growth and therefore development" (Strum, 1998, p.1). |

| | There, to the contrary, neoliberal initiatives are characterized as free market policies that encourage private enterprise and consumer choice, reward personal responsibility and entrepreneurial initiative, and undermine the dead hand of the incompetent, bureaucratic, and parasitic government, which can never do good (even when well intentioned, which it rarely is). | | | At their most eloquent, proponents of neoliberalism sound as if they are doing poor people, the environment, and everybody else a tremendous service as they enact policies on behalf of the wealthy few. | | | Although occasionally generating concern from those established parties like the U.S. Democratic Party that tend to attract the votes of the dispossessed, low voter turnout tends to be accepted and encouraged by the powers that be as a very good thing since nonvoters are, not surprisingly, disproportionately found among the poor and working class. |

| | Monthly Review: Neoliberalism, the state, and the left: A Canadian perspective |
| | The ascendancy of neoliberalism has occurred through a series of interconnected transformations that began with the economic turmoil of the 1970s, the rise of New Right governments across the 1980s, and the deepening internationalization of the circuits of money and industrial capital, modes of communication, and governance structures in the 1990s. | | | Neoliberalism, then, cannot be reduced to a discourse about market society, "golden rules" for public policy or regimes of the New Right. | | | For over the past two decades neoliberalism has come to dominate public discourse and the modalities of the state in one country after another. |

| | Monthly Review June 2003 William K. Tabb |
| | The admission that neoliberalism has failed in terms of its announced goals has forced its proponents to a tactical retreat—defending the broad thrust of the neoliberal policy agenda under cover of “reform.” The result is an augmented Washington Consensus that blames client states and not international institutions or transnational capital for the failures of neoliberalism. | | | It is a distraction, as well, from the consequences of neoliberal policies at home, diverting attention away from the sea of corporate scandals and the class-biased impact of tax cuts and slashed social spending. | | | The neoliberal agenda (or “Washington Consensus”) calls for trade and financial liberalization, privatization, deregulation, openness to foreign direct investment, a competitive exchange rate, fiscal discipline, lower taxes, and smaller government, none of which could plausibly lead to mass prosperity. |

| | Foreign Policy In Focus Special Report: From Keynesianism to Neoliberalism: Shifting Paradigms in Economics |
| | Contemporary neoliberalism is principally associated with the Chicago School of Economics, which emphasizes the efficiency of market competition, the role of individuals in determining economic outcomes, and distortions associated with government intervention and regulation of markets. | | | 8 For neoliberals, this is because the market is now paying people what they are worth; for post-Keynesians, it is because the balance of power in labor markets has tilted in favor of business. | | | A pure neoliberal policy configuration would aim at eroding protections, since these are a form of market distortion, and would abandon full-employment countercyclical policy as unnecessary. |
