Neoliberalism is an ideology that takes a new approach on an old political philosphophy. One must break down the work to truly understand what it means; first we have the word “neo” which simply means new. Then comes the word liberalism; it takes a lot to define liberalism but if I had to best describe it I would say it is a common interest to reform people so that they can be perfected. This idea of “neoliberlism” was officially up and coming in the 1980’s during Reagan’s presidency. This is where the United States took note that they were the Super Power and came up with the Washington Consensus. The Washing Consensus was a plan that was created to go to undeveloped worlds as a salesman and pitch how the United States became wealthy and how they should implement that onto their state. One idea that the United States pitched can be foreign investment and have these undeveloped worlds go into the business of mass production. Getting into this business you also have to make sure you create antiunion laws so the corporations would be more likely to come to your country.
