Obligatory pointer to how libertarians were defeated by bears [1]. Libertarians and neoliberals at this point are essentially indistinguishable. Neoliberalism is just a thinly-veiled wealth transfer to the already-rich through deregulation and tax cuts, masquerading as "market-based reforms" at the altar of the "free market". The "free market" itself is a myth because a well-functioning market requires strong government. It requires regulation. So when you see something like regulatory capture, which is a real problem, and companies bypassing the very regulation that limits their excesses and thinking the solution is less regulation. It's nonsencial.
