Neoliberalism

Neoliberalism is a term used to describe the state stepping in on the behalf of private interests, This includes policies of economic privatization, deregulation, globalization, monetarism, austerity, opening of markets both at home & abroad and reductions in government social spending (but not military and police spending). Neoliberalism is the dominant variant of capitalism in the world today.

Neoliberalism is a strand of liberalism distinct from Social Democracy, In which the workers were given much more concessions where as Neoliberalism only distinguishes itself from traditional right-wing ideologies like conservativism, as more 'socially progressive', although this is usually just symbolic than actually addressing problems.

Neoliberalism is typically thought of a form of soft power from the imperial core against countries to implement its measures, in opposed to neo-conservativism which uses hard power through military interventions such as in Iraq, Libya and Vietnam.
