Are neoliberals actually conservatives in disguise?

Hm! So liberalism actually is a mental disorder!

Liberalism, hey, at least it’s not socialism.

Actually no they are liberals. Most Conservatives are liberals, not neo-liberals conservative. Those are liberal values you are describing. Of course this is back when liberal had a real and stable meaning unlike now.

I agree. Friedman championed classical liberalism, but most Americans who agreed with Friedman associated liberal with high taxes and flower children and self identified as conservative, so the term shifted into, Reaganomics, globalization, free trade, etc.
