Abstract

This chapter provides some necessary background for the arguments developed in the book. First comes a preliminary discussion of the basic concepts underlying the arguments, beginning with the concept of freedom. A critical scrutiny of the concept of free market follows. A brief reconstruction of the evolution of economic liberalism is provided with the aim of clarifying the meanings attached to its main varieties. In particular, a rigorous definition of the controversial concept of neoliberalism is suggested. This leads to a discussion of the misleading conception of the relationship between state and market as a zero-sum game. The concluding remarks emphasise that the evolution of capitalism has produced a growing contradiction between democracy and a narrow view of freedom centred on negative freedom.
