What is this "neo-lib" shit?


Some crap that Chess made up to counter being called a neocon. It doesn't mean anything because I'm the same old Liberal I always was and so, I suspect, are you. There's nothing "neo" about my Liberalism. It's tried and true blue. But it seems to make him happy and it takes the sting out of getting whipped for being a neocon so I let him say whatever the F he wants.

Neo-liberalism is an economic theory that is pro-globalization, pro-free market and anti-regulation. Neoliberalism refers to a set of economic theories and principles that adapt Adam Smith and neo-classical economic theory to the problems facing developing countries, and international trade between developing and developed countries. It is associated with the theories of Friedrich Hayek, economics departments such as that at the University of Chicago (and such professors as Milton Friedman and Arnold Harberger), and international organizations such as the International Monetary Fund. In general, neoliberalism represents a move away from the Keynsian economics that were dominant immediately after World War II. In some parts of the Third World, such as Latin America, neoliberalism provided a critique of and alternative to dependency theory. In general, it promotes a "liberalization" of capital markets (thus called "neoliberal reform").

More specifically, neoliberalism promotes a stable currency, a balanced budget, free market capitalism, and free trade. Characteric aspects include expansion of the market to a 24-hour global trading cycle, contract maximalization, increase in the frequency of contracts, continuous assessment, and derivative markets.
Count me in as a neo-liberal ;).

Really...All of us?:P
2. Huge surprise there, but thanks for the back up.
Not a problem Chess, I couldn't expect you to back up your own thesis...now could I?
3. My view of a neolib is slightly different thou.
It's slightly different than the *actual* definition of neoliberalism as well. As I said, neoliberalism is a free market, libertarian economic ideology consistant with my libertarian soicial views.

Always a pleasure Chess.

I can no longer call myself a republican because I dont recognize them any more. Pretty much. I'm 10 years married, conservative with libertarian leanings.
