Market liberalism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term "market liberalism" is used in two distinct ways.
Especially in the United States, the term is often used as a synonym to classical liberalism.[1][2] In this sense, market liberalism depicts a political ideology, combining free market economy with personal liberty and human rights, in contrast to social liberalism, which combines personal liberty and human rights along with a mixed economy and welfare state. The former kind, is also known in the US popularly as "libertarianism".
In Europe and elsewhere, the term market liberalism is often used as a synonym to economic liberalism,[3] depicting a policy supporting the economic aspects of liberalism, without necessarily including the political aspects of liberalism.

"Although the term 'liberalism' retains its original meaning in most of the world, it has unfortunately come to have a very different meaning in late twentieth-century America. Hence terms such as 'market liberalism,' 'classical liberalism,' or 'libertarianism' are often used in its place in America."
