Neoconservatism and neoliberalism unite mainly through shared hatred of the welfare state

Evidence

First ofall there is the main doctrinal adversary, Keynes, the common enemy,· which ensures that criticism of Keynes will pass back and Iorth between these two neo-liberalisms. Second, they share the same objects of repulsion, namely, the stateconfrolled economy,plamiing, and state·interventionism on precisely those overall quantities to which Keynes -attached such theoretical and especially practical importance. Finally, a series of persons, theories, and books pass between -these two forms of neo-liberalism, the main ones referring -to ·the Austrian-school -broadly speaking, to Austrian neomarginalism, at any ,rate to those who came from there; like von Mises, Hayek, and so on. — Michel Foucault, The Birth of Biopolitics, 527 (#qualifies, via linked claim)

The policies and positions that Heritage advocates may be more widely recognized as conservative or neoconservative than neoliberal in the domestic political context. The relationship between neoconservatism and neoliberalism in the United States is contested by adherents and opponents of each school of thought. — Philip Mirowski & Dieter Plehwe (eds.), The Road from Mont Pèlerin, 1822 (#complicates, via linked claim)
