Neoliberalism

Neoliberalism is a broad-term ideology that is considered to be generally economically center-right, inspired by Monetarist/Friedmanite policies and thus often interventionist, culturally left-leaning, 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 the English Laissez-Faire Classical Liberalism of Adam Smith and other economists at the time and Socialism, which states that the role of the state in the economy is to regulate big businesses in order to prevent monopolies and the cartelization of markets and make sure a market economy gives satisfactory results for the people, also usually called Social Market Economy (Shall not to be confused with  Social Liberalism).

Other meaning also sometimes used by Right-Libertarians group is to call Neoliberalism as simply the current status-quo but characterizing it and it's model as a pro-Keynesianism  and Corporatist ideology that favors big business over small ones by regulations and taxes that hit harder small businesses or simply lobbying and direct benefits towards big businesses such as subsidies, tax exemption, etc...

On the Left, the term "Neoliberalism" is used for the supposed return of Classical Liberal doctrine during 80's popularised by Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan to now and/or supposed "Trickle down economics" applied at the time. Neoliberalism in this sense is rather anti-government involvement favoring lenient tax policies and low regulation, except in the area of regulation of Trade Unions.

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 (#8B0000) for land and white (#FFFFFF) for the seas. This does not have to be perfect,.
 * 3) Draw sunglasses on the ball, and you're done!
