Abstract
Neoliberalism refers to a particular conceptualization and reality of the relationship between economic rationality and political rationality. This keyword entry discusses the historical emergence of neoliberalism as an ideological movement and contemporary critiques. For advocates it represents the height of individual freedom, and for critics it represents the demobilization of the citizenry and the overweening power of corporate logic.
I am not a businessman, I’m a business, man!
