i object to this definition, because what i think what people (and I) mean by neoliberalism is precisely the opposite of its second prong: “the encasement of markets in public systems of regulation and adjudication”. 1/

on the contrary, i think the sine qua non of neoliberalism is the colonization of spheres previously insulated by market logicks. running education like a business, law + economics, cost/benefit analysis at market prices (including of regulation itself). 2/

all of these are what puts the neo in neoliberalism. /fin
