Gern gebraucht – häufig jedoch als synonym für “böse” verwandt. Gestern Abend fand ich jedoch in transform! eine ziemlich gute Definition von Kees van der Pijl:
“Neoliberalism after all is not just an economic policy. It is based on a philosophy and an anthropology: that of the lone human being calculating the optimum outcome of his/her actions in every domain, from private life to economic activity and political choice. It implies that everybody is in competition with everybody else, which in practice assumes the form (given that the universal protection by the state is withdrawn under neoliberal prescription) of a throwback to group loyalties, ”tribal” loyalties even.”
