- KEY IDEA
- • Does neoliberalism involve a minimalist government? Or does it require a
very activist government to continually create markets, defend them, and
save them (i.e. saving British banks from bankruptcy) in times of crisis?
• Should all public assets be privatised? How does this fit with an idea of
social justice? • Negative or positive liberty? • A constitutional order of
equality, or , a constitutional order of egoism?
