    I think they mean liberal in the global sense, the markets based liberalism, not “the American left” so much as “conservative Democrats that call themselves moderates.”

    When the time comes to make a decision they choose money over morality.

        neoliberalism is just a new spin on Liberalism, since by the time thatcher and Regan came to power a lot of people didn’t like vanilla Liberalism anymore

        From what I gather liberalism is more about market economics and keeping government out of interfering them, where neoliberalism is more about using government power in favor of markets and removing their involvement in social programs.

        One is more hands off “invisible hand” stuff, the other is more “hands off for the people, but money money money for business.”
