Neoliberalism

Neoliberalism is a broad-term ideology that is considered to be generally economically center-right to right-wing, inspired by  Monetarist/Friedmanite policies and is thus often  interventionist,  culturally left-leaning to culturally center-right-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 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 neolib it is.

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!
