Defining neoliberalism as the practice of using the free market
    as the assignation of all value, I believe it would be a fair
    characterisation to pinpoint some of its key traits as:
    
    
      - A fixation on quantification and
      measurement.
 
      - The belief that all aspects of
      society are best handled on a for-profit basis through
      competition.
 
      - A nominal insistence on
      transparency, accountability and openness, so that point 1
      can best be achieved.
