What is Neoliberalism

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.
