Political-Economical Philosophy (Left/Right)

Political-Economical Philosophy (Liberalism)

• Liberalism – – That Individuals are more important than the state.

– Focuses on protecting individuals’ rights and properties (as its main political goal).

– From an economic perspective, (classical) liberalism emphasises on minimal state intervention and economic activities should be controlled by individuals, not the state.

Neo-liberalism – Introduction

•Neo-liberalism is a(n):• Combination of right-wing ideology with the

essential characteristic of liberalism.

• Ideology that focuses on individual freedom (i.e. requiring minimal intervention by the state) and equal opportunity rather than equitable outcome.

• Dominant ideology of governance in western democratic capitalism countries since 1970s.

Neo-liberalism and the economy

• Neo-liberalism in an economy means:– Market is the best tool for allocative efficiency of scarce

public resources.– More economic freedom in different stage of production

with minimal state intervention.– Competition in different stages of production as this is the

way that makes economic system more efficient.– Going back to Individualism - more individual choice

because this ideology assumes individual always choose goods/service for his/her best interest – Consumerism.
