>> What is exactly "neo-liberal orthodoxy"?
Ulhas, i believe the baseline for any neo-liberal is "The Washington Consensus", which is basically the stance parroted ad nauseam by the likes of the WTO, IMF, World Bank and the Asian Development Bank and involves a significant redistribution of assets towards capitalists, which more often than not means towards North American/Western European companies, themselves following slightly less aggressive policies than the erstwhile British East India Company(well, depending on whom you ask).
a useful start maybe made here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_consensus
for a slightly more gripping account of what a neo-liberal operation looks like from the inside, i recommend "Confessions of an Economic Hitman" by John Perkins:)
