Neoliberalism

Neoliberalism is a broad-term ideology that is considered to be economically centrist to  right-wing, inspired by  monetarist/Friedmanite policies and is often  interventionist,  culturally variable, and  globalist, although there is general disagreement on what exactly the term means on both the left and the right.

On the right, the term "Neoliberalism" is occasionally thrown around for Managerial Capitalism, which is an economic phenomenon that originates from the end of World War Two. Managerialism differentiates itself from traditional Capitalism, while the latter is oriented on the economic power generally being held by the owners within society, managerialism is seen as diluting ownership within society to a point where owners can no longer exert power over businesses and rather this power being moved towards a professional manager class. Neoliberalism in this sense is seen as being pro-government involvement in the economy.

It's also used by some Libertarians as a defense when they're called Neoliberals, by the meaning the ideology of Andrew Rüstow,  Ordo-Liberalism, which he also called Neoliberalism, as an in-between ideology between the kind of English Laissez-Faire  Classical Liberalism of Adam Smith and  Socialism.

The term is also sometimes used by Right-Libertarians to call Neoliberalism as simply the current status-quo but characterizing it and its model as a  Pro-Keynesianism. Neoliberalism is also accused of being a corporate ideology that favors big business over small ones by regulations and taxes that hit harder small businesses or simply lobbying and giving direct benefits towards big businesses such as subsidies, tax exemption, etc...

On the Left, the term "Neoliberalism" is used for the doctrine that was theorised by Hayek, Friedman, von Mises et al. and popularized by Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan applied at the time, harkening back to   Classical Liberal doctrine. Neoliberalism in this sense is rather pro-competition, favouring lenient tax policies and low regulation, except in the area of regulation of trade unions. It would be erroneous to characterise this description as "anti-government involvement", as those who use this definition acknowledge that Neoliberal governments frequently involve themselves in the economy if it's to further the interests of market competition, such as bailing out "too big to fail" banks.

To many, however, neoliberalism just means something they hate, the more they hate it, the more neoliberal it is.

History
Amidst the Great Depression, many liberals with different tendencies gathered together in Colloque Walter Lippmann. There were two distinct camps at play, the classical liberal group and the  social-liberal group much more open to Keynesian policies. Although the participants couldn't agree on a comprehensive philosophy, they all agree on the necessity of new liberalism (aka neoliberalism) to combat socialism,  collectivism, and  laissez-faire liberalism.

Despite being largely ineffective, it served as a precursor to a much more significant Mont Pelerin Society. During the post-war Keynesian consensus, their ideas weren't very popular, being known only in think tanks and universities. It wasn't until the stagflation in the 1970s that neoliberal thought started to become widespread globally.

Economics
Neoliberalism is not a comprehensive philosophy in and of itself but rather a set of ideas in which adherents can find common ground. Its central proposals are:


 * Pro-private property rights
 * Pro-market, but the government will correct any market failure that emerges
 * Free trade
 * Free flow of capital
 * Open immigration
 * Individualism
 * Opposition to [[File:Pop.png]] populism, [[File:Col.png]] collectivism, [[File:Soc.png]] socialism and [[File:Austrobert.png]] Austrian economics.

Neoliberals can disagree on the size of the welfare or the co-operative economics, but they're never distrustful of markets. It's a big tent, ranging from Third Way to  Chicago school of economics. They're generally supportive of New neoclassical synthesis, a combination of New Keynesianism and New classical economics.

International Relations
Along with neorealism, neoliberalism has been the most famous approach since the 1990s. Neoliberalism in IR states that nations should worry about absolute gains, rather than relative gains to other nations. Being a revised version of liberalism, it rejects unscientific applications to be in favor of rigorous testing techniques. The central theory in neoliberalism is the democratic peace theory. It says that no two mature democracies have ever waged wars with each other. By promoting free trade to tie countries together along with encouraging middle class and liberal democracy, neoliberals want to decrease the chance of war.

Personality
Neoliberalism is usually portrayed as a modern-age businessman and may be portrayed as owning businesses within the comics and will almost always be behind any media within the comics. He is well-spoken and very modern.

Compared to Liberalism and  Neocon, Neoliberal is very much into "woke culture" and will be very defensive of anything  progressive and will use the state to promote socially progressive values... as long as they're profitable, of course.

How to Draw
Neolib_flag.svg Neoliberalism's symbol is based of the logos of the r/neoliberal subreddit. It is a white globe with red landmasses on it.


 * 1) Draw a ball
 * 2) Draw a part of the globe on the ball, using red for land and white for the seas. This does not have to be perfect,.
 * 3) Draw sunglasses on the ball, and you're done!
