New Way of the World

Neoliberalism is neither a return to classical liberalism nor the restoration of 'pure' capitalism. To misinterpret neoliberalism is to fail to understand what is new about it: far from viewing the market as a natural given that limits state action, neoliberalism seeks to construct the market and make the firm a model for governments. Exploring the genesis of neoliberalism, and the political and economic circumstances of its deployment, Pierre Dardot and Christian Laval dispel numerous common misconceptions.

Neoliberalismul nu este nici o intoarcere la liberalismul clasic, nici restaurarea capitalismului „pur”. A interpreta gresit neoliberalismul inseamna a nu intelege ceea ce este nou in legatura cu acesta: departe de a privi piata ca un fapt natural care limiteaza actiunea statului, neoliberalismul incearca sa construiasca piata si sa faca din firma un model pentru guverne.
