About
the use of the term ‘neoliberalism’. The
full paper (pdf): In the quotes of Mises and Rustow we see reflected a schism of liberalism: To Rustow, old school liberals like Mises were dangerous extremists; to Mises, neoliberals were not much better than totalitarian socialists. In any case, neoliberalism as a concept was clearly established as something quite different from the ‘free market radicalism’ with which it is usually associated today. Neoliberalism, from Rustow’s 1932 speech to the Colloque Walter Lippmann of 1938, had been the attempt to formulate an anti-capitalist, anti-communist, but halfsocialist Third Way.
