Abstract

This paper attempts an interpretation of the neoliberalism highlighting on its plurality of expressions. Tell about the internal transition of neoliberal thought suggesting that ending hegemonic period it’s far away and today exists a very strong reason to verify fundamental continuity of its project now under a new appearance unlike from old neoliberalism linked to the Washington Consensus policies. One different approach allows us to turn over neoliberalism beyond pure economic issues and to analyze it as well as socio-political project and a technology of power that arises from the multiplicity of its historical intellectual and ideological sources from its beginnings. The political global economy in the new millennium brings about a metamorphosis of the neoliberal project, from its orthodox roots, typical variants along last two decades of the 20th century and its main concept of homo œconomicus (‘economic man’) towards a new neoliberalism, heterodox rooted and renewed and based under the concepts like homo redemptoris (‘entrepreneur’) and the entrepreneurship and, without transforming its more axiomatic principles and convictions, it would adjust better to new hegemonic conditions in the 21th century.
