No, absolutely wrong.
Neoliberalism is about a big, functional government that is utopian and takes care of everything for you.
"You own nothing, and you'll be happy."
You can argue in practice it's terrible (subjective, no one really cares about your opinion). But it's hard to argue its GOAL is to be small.
- johnny22 2y agoNo, this is closer to the definition of neoliberalism that people are using https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoliberalism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoliberalism
- wisemang 2y agoThat is definitely not what neoliberalism is about. GP is correct (though the current situation seems to be something much more extreme).
- Philpax 2y agoBaffling definition. How did you develop this impression?
- johnnyanmac 2y ago>that is utopian So, a useless definition? I'm sure dictators think they run a utopia. But your defiinition runs counter to my research and readings. Neoliberalism often refers to this blend of liberal social policies but capitalistic-centric economic policies. Being small isn't inherent to neoliberalism. >subjective, no one really cares about your opinion >Please don't fulminate.
