This is a good time to ask what is left of an outlook known to its enemies as neoliberalism and by at least some of its friends as just economic liberalism. One cannot be too careful in choice of wording. For neoliberalism was originally the self-chosen name for a group formed just before the second world war around the US commentator Walter Lippmann and which advocated, among other things, making greater use of market forces in economic policy. It has only more recently acquired pejorative associations.
有一種觀點(diǎn)被反對(duì)者稱為新自由主義，而至少部分支持者稱之為經(jīng)濟(jì)自由主義，目前正是探討這種觀點(diǎn)前景的好時(shí)機(jī)。用詞再怎么謹(jǐn)慎都不為過。新自由主義最初是二戰(zhàn)前一個(gè)以美國(guó)評(píng)論員沃爾特?李普曼(Walter Lippmann)為首的團(tuán)體為自己選定的名字，它主張?jiān)诮?jīng)濟(jì)政策中更多地運(yùn)用市場(chǎng)力量，此外還有一些別的主張。只是最近它變得有些貶義。
