how broadly is that really defined
It’s a relatively contested term in academia partially because of its broad nature. It’s just a weird grab bag of stuff to be honest, and even Friedman and Hayek were fairly arbitrary with their reasoning.

I find this discussion really interesting - I'd not have thought Blair was what people mean by neoliberal (and it seems I'm not alone in that) but there are obviously lots of people who do think that's a fair description. I'd agree he doesn't reject capitalism but if he's neoliberal, how broadly is that really defined? Which countries could really be said not to be neoliberal by that definition?
