"Kalyptic" vs. neoliberal
Author:  Date: 2003-05-18 16:42
Asking as a neophyte to your work, can you please explain to me if there is a relationship between "kalyptic" and neoliberalism. If so, what. Does kalyptic replace neoliberal. Did Sept. 11 change your views on this topic. "Kalyptic" means, as I understand your theory, more freedom for the individual.

Thanks.

Liberalism is a very ambiguous concept: It can mean individual freedom and protection of the weak, but it can also mean economic laissez faire policy, i.e. freedom of the strong to subdue the weak.

I would prefer never to use the word liberalism unless you are a politician and you want to be deliberately ambiguous in order to make everybody believe that you are on their side.
