Neo-liberalism has several names depending on your fashion. I would also call it libertarian economics, or free-market economics. It's the trickle-down economics philosophy, and its meme is self-reliance, its chief slogans are anti-tax, anti "big" government, and became fashionable when Reagan and Thatcher came into power and effectively stopped and reversed all progress toward a fair and workable society, as I see it. Neo-liberalism's leading proponents are/were Hayek, Mises, Milton Friedman and Ayn Rand. Galen is also an ardent neo-liberal here.
1. Link is now fixed.
2. Yup, we're on 40 years of tinkle down economics. So are you better off now than you were 40 years ago?
