Abstract
This article aims to open some points of debate to advance
in the re-conceptualization of “Neoliberalism”. In
other words, we want to shift critical analysis a bit beyond
most common assumptions. What do we understand today
by Neoliberalism? On what basis do we criticize it?
Neoliberalism is usually identified with some kind of return
to the past, either in the form of economic orthodoxy
or repressive interventionism. Without giving definitive
answers, we ask here how neoliberal government programs
reach a wide adherence in the population, how they aim
to speak to our behaviours and beliefs, beyond economic
orthodoxy and repression.
