- Description
- What we call neoliberalism began with the ideas of Friedrich von Hayek and Milton Friedman who promoted a political economic theory in the mid-20th century, which proposes the market is the best device for ensuring individual freedom and for mobilizing human behaviour for the benefit of all. While liberalism and neoliberalism are both premised upon individuals’ freedom, liberalism articulates a distinction between non-economic and economic actions, while neoliberalism interpellates individuals as entrepreneurial actors in every sphere of life. Furthermore, unlike neoclassical economics, neoliberals do not conceive of the market or rational economic behaviour as natural; rather they are constructed through cultural norms or state regulation (Brown 2005).
