Neoliberalism declared dead as term loses meaning, hinders policy debate

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The term "neoliberalism" has become an obsolete and pejorative label, according to analysis of its current usage. While its core policies related to market-based economies persist, the word itself is no longer embraced by any political group and lacks a clear, agreed-upon definition. This linguistic confusion hinders productive debate about the role of government and markets, with different factions using the term to signify various dislikes, from corporate power to immigration.
