There was a controversial book "Democracy in Chains" which is worth a read, explaining a bit about Neoliberalism. I am TIRED of reading the smear from authors with an axe to grind against Liberals with a different view to theirs.

Dismissing someone as "neo-liberal" without honestly engaging their views is an attempt to shut debate down.
