liberal
'liberal' and 'neoliberal' can both have to do with a free-market economy and less government intervention. However, 'liberal' is a broader word and can also mean personal freedom and tolerance. 'neoliberal' is narrower and refers especially to an economic-policy orientation involving deregulation, privatization, and a lean state. The words can be confused because they sound similar in the economic field. More precisely: every neoliberal position is economically liberal in character, but not every liberal attitude is neoliberal.
