freedom, neoliberalism, welfare stateAbstract
The essay presents a historical overview and critical discussion of the debates over the relation between classical liberal and neoliberal conceptions of the relation between state and market, with particular reference to the idea of freedom. Through figures like Beveridge, Mises, and Friedman, the author explores the move from social planning to market dominance, showing the shift from citizens to consumers and from a collective to a more individual definition of freedom, and emphasizing the implications for citizenship and democracy.
