I believe that’s a so called neo-liberalism, mostly synonymous with “laissez-fare” approaching to economy. While classical liberalism seeks for personal freedoms, neo-liberalism seeks for freedoms of fake, legal persons.

The book I linked is an academic work that details how the major liberal philosophers dealt with the contradiction between freedom of the bourgeoisie and freedom of the exploited classes. It’s not a long read, and does the important work of contextualizing their philosophies.

Liberal education has a tendency to present liberalism as if someone just got the idea for everyone to be equal and free, and then the people democratically embraced capitalism because that’s the most freedom and equal system, and history ended.

Guess what I was trying to say is that that changes over time - and not in a good way. But maybe if you read the book, you can tell us more :)

Edit: looks like the author posits it has “always” been shit in mostly “liberties for me but bot thee” ways.
