Scenarios about 'neoliberalism'
Neoliberalism refers to a political and economic philosophy emphasizing free markets, deregulation, privatization, and reduced government intervention that gained prominence in the 1970s and 1980s. Associated with leaders like Reagan and Thatcher, it marked a shift away from Keynesian economics toward policies promoting globalization, trade liberalization, and fiscal austerity.
