Neoliberalism self-consciously planned as a multi-generational intellectual project

Evidence

Neoliberals started to recognize the growing need “to organize individualism” in order to counter what was perceived as an unfortunate but irreversible politicization of economics and science (Zmirak 2001, 11). To achieve their goal of the “Good Society,” neoliberal agents agreed on the need to develop long-term strategies projected over a horizon of several decades, possibly to involve several generations of neoliberal intellectuals. — Philip Mirowski & Dieter Plehwe (eds.), The Road from Mont Pèlerin, 116
