Ulhas asks:

What is specifially orthodox (or "neo-liberal?)about Indian economic policy? It is not socialist, I agree, but what do you mean "orthodoxy"?

And on, Dec 7, 2005, in the "Harvey" thread you wrote:

I don't know what people exactly mean by the term "neo liberal".

========================

This comes up quite often.

If you search the LBO Talk archives for "neoliberalism" - <http://mailman.lbo-talk.org/pipermail/lbo-talk/> -

you'll note that 896 results are returned.

Of course, not all of these entries offer a comprehensive review of neoliberalism but several do.

For example, on Oct 8, 2005, Chuck Grimes posted a review of David Harvey's "A Brief History of Neoliberalism" -

<http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0199283265/002-1536914-2835207?v=glance&n=283155>

(perhaps the definitive overview to-date). Chuck's post is titled "Harvey's history of neoliberalism".

Due to length, the review, taken from Interactivist Info Exchange -

<http://info.interactivist.net/article.pl?sid=05/09/29/0511228>

- is broken into three posts:

Part 1

Part 2

Needless to say, neoliberalism has been extensively discussed on this list. At this point, I'm more curious about your persistent question - "what is neoliberalism" - which endures despite repeated attempts to explain (with nary a reply from you) than I am about the point/counter points.
