i tend to describe neoliberalism as the project to expand the scope of market logics, including into domains that had previously been insulated from them. 1/
i’d agree it’s useful to specify that the project eagerly and openly makes use of the state to those ends, rather than treating state action as taboo or its opposition, as libertarians do. 2/
(there’s a kind of resonance, at the same time as neoliberalism makes active use of the state to expand the scope of market logics, it applies itself to the state, working to put the deliberative mechanisms of the state under those logics.) 3/
