If memory serves neoconservative was a label applied to Norman Podhoretz and ilk in the 1980's who were distinguished by fierce anti-communism more than any particular economic program. But conservative is an even more slippery term than liberal. Needless confusion was sown when the Chilean economist Alejandro Foxley published _Latin American Experiments in Neoconservative Economics_ in 1983; its Spanish version, of course, was _Experimentos neoliberales en America Latina_. Foxley must have felt at the time that "neoliberal" would be misunderstood in the anglophone world. Best, Colin
