Lal coined the LIEO as a deliberate counter-term to the NIEO

Evidence

In a body of work that extends from the 1970s through the present, Lal has sought to affirm what he calls the “liberal international economic order” or LIEO (a phrase presumably coined to contrast with the NIEO neologism), most notably in a well-received book, The Poverty of Development Economics. — Philip Mirowski & Dieter Plehwe (eds.), The Road from Mont Pèlerin, 1774

Categorization

• QUESTION: The chapter hedges with ‘presumably’ — worth verifying whether Lal coined the LIEO term and when he first used it.
• XREF: connects to: The NIEO threat spurred the neoliberal counterrevolution in development policy — Philip Mirowski & Dieter Plehwe (eds.), The Road from Mont Pèlerin: The Making…, 1733
